   “As a friend of his I shall miss him; as a peer we shall all be poorer for his absence.  
        We are lucky to have met him.  We are lucky to have worked with him.  

  Let us all honor his memory by continuing to create good work in the spirit of
  dance development, and love to our fellow man."
