I've always viewed Tenth Planet as more of an exceptionally violent fraternity than a family but, yes, it felt like family at the memorial. I know it did his natural family a world of good to see such a large, not to mention unexpected, turnout. Indrani, his wife, told his family to expect five to eight people from Tenth Planet; there were 20 to 30 of us, including welcome faces that hadn't been around for quite a while. Having so many of my Tenth Planet family there absolutely helped mitigate my own grief.
The presentation of the
brown belt was a highlight of the memorial. I just wish I could have rolled with him afterwards.
