A great voice has been silenced. The likes of John Hughes will never be seen again. His work is still THE bar as far as I’m concerned for delivering funny, relevant, and poignant content.

Thank you, John, for your words and your work. Your legacy will inspire for generations to come. I, for one, know that I will continue to enjoy, laugh, and learn from your masterful word-strokes. Your genius, your engaging storytelling, and your commitment to the craft are truly–awesome–and it’s so rare when that word is used correctly.

Farewell, Maestro!

Sigh…
