He was kind when he had every excuse not to be. He told us not to be sad or scared, but to keep the party going,” she continued. “And as much as l’d like to use that as an excuse to drink myself into an oblivion worthy of his literary heroes, I know it’s not what he meant.

Yes, he loved his weed and his wine, but the truth is, most of the time, he was just high on life, and that is what he wanted for everyone: to enjoy the fantastic trip that life can be.” “My dad was the joy he sang about.

He was the hardest working person I’ve ever seen. He was a great man and an even better dad to my brother, sister and me,” Delaney went on.
