To the Skeldings,

Before Friday I’d have called up Conor for advice on how to strike the right tone in a condolence note to a dear friend. Alas…..I’m so saddened for your loss-and for ours. Conor was my colleague, office mate, fellow cyclist, confidant, advisor, consigliere, drinking buddy, interlocutor/sparring partner, travel companion, host, soundboard, but most simply, a wonderful friend. I really miss him; I always will.

May his memory be a blessing.
