Caroline has the sniffles and a low fever, so rather than leave her with a sitter, Kathleen and I are switching off in paying respects to the Greenbergers and their tragic loss. Kath is going to the funeral today and I was at the viewing yesterday.
The outpouring of support was uplifting to see. People from the comic industry from Paul Levitz to Joe Quesada; the staff of Comicmix; assorted Star Trek writers; and, of course, people from all walks of Robbie’s life were there. Robbie had kept a collection of rubber ducks in his car; the collection was situated in a basket near the door and visitors were invited to take one as a remembrance. Ariel got the last one. She’s never been to a viewing, and she held up remarkably well.
I’m sure that Bob, Deb and Kate were gratified for this outpouring of support. And of course the greatest tragedy is, considering all the lives that Robbie had the opportunity to touch in his short span; how many more would he have affected given the chance?
