To the one who met me at the airport when I moved here, gave me a place to stay, insisted I first drove - on the wrong side!
40 years of abiding love, friendship, partying, drumming, conversations about life and art. Shared sensibilities grown from British art schools, we strove to keep them alive, living so far from our own families and culture.
Many here will attest to your creative genius, and the mission you stayed loyal to, even when the odds were stacked against you. Like the Phoenix, you rose again through disappointment, to taste accolades for your work.
You came to California to fulfill your purpose - to enhance humanity through spiritual, emotional and compassionate growth, both individually and collectively through the uniqueness of your games. You succeeded, and along the way gathered legions of friends and fans drawn in by your effervescence and iconic humour (with a 'u').
You were truly one of a kind. I continue to feel honoured to have been counted as one. You will never be forgotten. May you be at peace now.
