They were so young. I wish I could have met him, we had so much in common, he was on my bucket list of celebrities. It’s all part of God’s plan sadly, everything happens for a reason. I know we are all feeling very down at the moment things will get better, stay strong my friends!

 
Lots of love

83 isn't exactly young.

Well, his son looks in his sixties, so maybe he does consider 83 as being young  :D
