A very very special soul.

I was lucky to get to know Aaron over the past few years. He was a brilliant man, with a sharp sense of humor. I also met him a number of times in person when he came to visit his children in the NY area. He went through a lot in life and suffered greatly towards the end. He will be truly missed.
