To the friends in his life, the persons of acquaintance, and the extended family of the fallen: several weeks ago, a young boy perished in the midst of incertitude and chaos. Piggy, his apparent alias, was someone who made a definite impact on our lives. He graced the earth with his intuition, his compassion, his civil-nature, and his will to create a better world for you, me, and just about everyone.
