Every one of you shut the fuck up and wait a goddamn minute.
Shut the fuck up with your shallow condolences and your comparisons to plane crashes. Seriously.
There's no comparison between these tragedies.
You simply have no idea.
No clue of the generous, kind, and caring soul we've lost, here.
An incredible mind and and giving soul has departed our world.
But I know what we've lost. I know very well. Not nearly as well as I'd have liked to, but I'm so very honored to have called Densetsu my friend.
He truly lived up to his title. He was indeed a legend among men.
I've lost family members that didn't hit me so hard as this.
I've buried great-grandparents stoically but here I am crying my fucking eyes out over a man I never got to meet face to face.
This isn't right. There isn't a goddamn thing Right about this.
This was a man both capable and willing to change the world for the better.
It should have been someone else.
Should have been me.
I'd take his place in an instant.
It would be so much less of a loss.
Franz, I hope that you go with the knowledge that you were loved by so many.
You touched hundreds of lives and changed so many minds.
And I can only hope to live up to such an exemplary example in time.
Take care until we souls meet once again.
