Hi friends.
I got a note from our old friend "KMF_NYC" on Monday that his former life partner (who he lived with when he was a part of the BWW community and Smoking thread regular) died suddenly on Monday.
While KMF (Kevin) and Jeffery split a couple of years ago (for a variety of reasons), they remained close and in eachother's lives, as people who have shared a profound part of life together do.
Jeffery was a brilliant man - a composer and recent author, who was writing on Facebook just this past Sunday evening about how excited he was to start his book tour.
I spent time, including a weekend away, with him and he was a really special guy.
He apparently had a heart attack on his way to work on Monday morning. At least he didn't suffer. But, he was cheated. Oh, how he was cheated.
Kevin posted a beautiful tribute to him on Facebook. I'm going to try to link it here, although I have no idea if you'll be able to see it, as privacy controls there are so screwy.
Just wanted you to know, because Kevin was a special part of many of our lives for a few years.
