Authentic faith leads us to treat others with unconditional seriousness and to a loving reverence for the mystery of the human personality.

We had just played a sold-out show and it had been a fun night when we heard the news. It brought everything back to reality. He was a brilliant guy. He was an aerospace engineer and an entrepreneur.
