I lost an old friend on December 1st. It touched me deeply because when I had tried to contact him after my second marriage, which it the last time I saw him, I was told that he had died. What a cruel trick to play on someone.
He went with a nondescript obituary and not a photo to go with it. Here is where I pine over lost photos in Katrina, as I had pictures of us together. He was a visionary thinker, and influential friend and one of the kindest people I ever knew. He was always soft spoken and gentle to those he came into contact with. I will miss the thought of him and deeply regret accepting the word of someone concerning his death when I should have verified it. To be absent in his last days seems like a betrayal.
This is my tribute to you, Eric Lugenbuhl. Great friend, never scared to take a risk, crazy SOB... May you rest eternally in a better place.
