I think we'll all miss him, right? I mean, he was a big person. He was really something else, and the one thing about him is you would get the straight talk from him. He didn't beat around the bush. So if he believed something, he'd share it. I know he's someone that I, too, could always call on. And we had become really good friends. So we'll miss him. With that said, yes, rhubarb days was awesome. Boy,
