His voice was like butter melting in a hot frying pan. I loved listening to him speak. I will miss him.

After the Ken Burns series, the paperback editions of the Trilogy were required commuting read for every guy who wears a suit and rides a train to work, or so it seemed.
I burned through all three in less than a year and then did a trip with a buddy to Gettysburgh to pay homage.
What a voice, what a writer. We’ll miss him.
