I love Will, but I've just decided I'm not going to learn who this guy is. Sorry buddy! You're "Duff the Grumbler or whatever" now.

Here he was at his 90th birthday party in 2022. The smartest man I ever knew. Gave me my first copy of Siddhartha when I was about 12. He used to say he was the only liberal in Comal County. I miss him already.
