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. And as much as I’d like to use that as an excuse to drink myself into oblivion worthy of his literary heroes, I know it’s not what he meant.” She continued, “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. He was generous with his friends and strangers alike,” Delaney recalled. “He had a deep admiration for the people he worked with, and he never took himself too seriously, which is probably what I loved most about him.” Delaney wrote, “When I showed him the South Park episodes that parody him, he loved chuckling along.
