He's gone...
He's really gone...
I didn't believe it at first.  Seems I'm not alone there.  It's just... there are no words.
You can really only compare this to Elvis' passing.  But if you were a little kid in 1983-84, this is really more like learning Santa Claus just died.  It's that messed up.
Here's hoping Heaven is either just like Disneyland or E.T.'s home planet.
