I have moved around a lot and I don't have many that I call close friends. Although I never told you, you were the closest and most certainly the longest. Knowing you as I did you probably already knew that. Your in site and understanding of people was your greatest strength. All that knew you will certainty feel a void. I have a void that will never be filled.
God must have needed your special skills for something important. Why else would he have called you so soon.
