It is beyond any normal expectation what this man could have offered to the society had he not been a wheel-chair bound man but through art, ideas, and generosity, he given so much. It is a black day for the world as today we lost a real creative soul and gentle man In my clean heart and conscious I can loudly say that he was one of those talents I am proud to have associated with.

This confession brought his hosting of documentaries to a halt and he departed from Warrior Poets soon afterwards.
