As his behaviour demanded his dismissal, his dismissal hastened his death. His is a modern tragedy that a man who inspired so many to greatness, also failed others in not providing the basic protection his position demanded. I’m sure, he’ll be forgiven much and will live in the hearts of the many he helped and with whom he shares love forever. So sad … I wish his family strength.
