At times you hear of people passing on and you don't react, and at times you hear the news and you do stop and think for without really realizing it, those people have made an impact to your life in very subtle ways. I recently heard of someone's passing who had been the personification of a leader. He was the quintessential CEO with calm finesse who in my mind was the exemplary picture of what one should be like when they lead an organization. I had very little interaction with him on a one to one basis but he made an impact on me. It's sad to know he's gone but that is the way of things.
