I lost a dear friend and mentor today. I do not know how to cope with the anger and disappointment with myself, and the grief and sadness I feel for the pain and cancer that he had to suffer in the last days. Except to share this with you. Never. Ever. Put off making the important people in your life know that theyre important and loved by you. Make sure they know that the effort and the time they put into you is cherished and not forgotten. It may seem like what you have will last forever, but they will be gone too soon and it will be too late. There will be nothing you can do. Nothing. To Patrick Turner. You were the coolest. You made me proud to be called an entrepreneur. You showed me how to dream bigger. It wasnt just about what you taught me, but by how everything you did just seemed larger than life. You spoke as many languages as the continents you lived in. You cooked heritage French dishes that were forgotten. Your generous heart was as big as you and you were in turn loved just as much. Im sorry that I didnt always check in with you every three months like you asked me too. But you were always there for me. When I came around to bugger you, I guess that was already too little too late. Thank you for spending time with me even though you didnt need to. The scarcity of our meetings make them so much more precious and I will always treasure the things you taught me. Rest well Prof.
