I just learned that Dan Fogelberg died on December 16. I love his music and am saddened to know of his passing. “Same Auld Lang Syne” and “Leader of the Band” and “Run for the Roses” always touch me, taking me back to my teens when I listened to a cassette of him over and over while driving just because driving was new.

I just learned last night of the death of a kind and gentle soul. I met Kevin a few years ago and he joined me and my friends in running around for awhile. I best remember his smile. When he smiled, I got glimpses of true joy in someone’s heart. Kevin and I had not been in touch nearly as much as we used to. I feel some regret in that. It really saddens me that he died alone; I hope he died gently, without pain and without fear.
I wish we had played more chess.
