Let me begin by offering my condolences to Lowell and to other friends or family of 3WC [[Tony Pieroni).

Simply put, I never had the privilege to meet the man; and can't say all my exchanges here with him were easy [[we certainly disagreed on many things); but in the telling of the man's life, he seems to have been a very kind soul, who was certainly a positive in contributing to the welfare of many.

For that, he has my utmost respect.
