3. Chavez, I share your pain.
He was one of the most articulate, passionate, beautiful souls who walked this earth. Just last month I remember thinking how much I would love to meet him, just to be able to tell him what an impact he has had on me.

We were lucky to have him for as long as we did. I just wish I felt certain that there were more like him waiting in the wings.

I'm actually tearing up.

4. Just 15 minutes ago
I was talking to a friend about his work as JFK in Bubba Ho Tep.

He was a great talent and will be missed.

5. He was the best JFK ever, even better than Martin Sheen.
He will be missed.

7. A great man and a great actor has passed.
When I hear his name, I'll always picture him as Da Mayor in "Do the Right Thing."
