Thanks for the reassurance; I really wasn't sure whether my own impressions could be generalized.
I wasn't as close to Greg as some of my friends were, but enough so to, like you, keep thinking how sad and how odd it is that old conversations will never be resumed, that we won't see him at the next convention, that his voice has been stilled.
Even though I know rationally that we are all mortal, and that tragedy can take us before our times, on an emotional level it just seems to Not Make Sense (that seems to need exclamation points) that he could be there one day and gone forever the next. It's a shock.
