On the other hand, what a wonderful life. What a wonderful gift he gave us all.
Good night, Johnny. Thanks again.

My favorite quote from the article:
In his final show, he told his audience: "And so it has come to this. I am one of the lucky people in the world. I found something that I always wanted to do and I have enjoyed every single minute of it."

I don't think we will ever be so united again.
