I'm also including the text of a message today about his memorial service.

He died without pain and in peace. I cannot express how much he loved working everyone that he met in ARLIS. He has always considered you more than clients, he felt that we all were friends and partners in the same mission. Our many friendships are a reflection of his love and respect for you. I and my wonderful staff will continue forward with the mission that he began and he will always be our inspiration.
