Oliver, you've been in my thoughts all day. Losing a dear friend is never easy. Although the grief is fresh, in time I know you will find comfort in all the memories of the wonderful times you and Epigonos shared together. It is a testament to him that, even though I only met and interacted with him a handful of times, he left an impression on me such that I am feeling so sad and melancholy today to know he is no longer with us. I loved his candor, his flair for storytelling, and his epicurean talents. As others have said, there was a genuine warmth about Epigonos that made you feel at ease and happy in his presence. I can only hope to live out the rest of my life as adventurously and unabashedly as he did! He will be missed.
