Lancelot was just a beautiful person that I came to know in a professional capacity. He was a tall gentleman and a sweetheart. He was kind and I didn't know anyone to hold him in poor standing. I know he was a messenger for many years and worked all sorts of jobs in NYC before falling into a bit of a rough patch. I know for a fact that he decided one day to stop drinking, and that he was proud that he made that decision. He was also done in by the effects of his drinking, but not before he had the strength to quit.
I cried for days when he passed. I only knew him for 2 weeks. He was a real sweetheart.
