This might be the saddest loss of the year so far. Considering the current climate, we need more voices like his, not less. So much respect and admiration for him... his is a voice I will miss.

Reading Night as a teen was an eye opening experience. I'm sure his voice has helped prevent those who would try to deny the suffering of many. Rest in peace, sir.

I credit his books and Corrie Ten Boom's for my subsequent educational career and for a chunk of my worldview.  Although the nay sayers are already out.  Or maybe it's just Max Blumenthal.
