A rare talent, a unique person, full of extreme contradictions, a genius and eccentric. He loved animals, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Tolstoy, Art House films and loved to debate anything. For many years he was a spiritual disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda although In the last few years of his life he was a hardened atheist. He suffered intense physical pain and sickness for much of his adult life, but despite this, still managed to be charming, funny and extremely entertaining.

He was too sensitive for this world and is greatly missed.
