This. I hadn't spoken to him in about two years after a huge amount of miscommunications, but his passing still affected me.

I haven't seen his wife in awhile, but I'm quite close to his ex and have been talking with her at length about the whole mess.

He was doing good in the world on a grand scale. I'm sorry that he had so much pain within him that he felt he had to exit this life.

There is a ripple effect here that will be long felt. *hugs*
