Sorry to join this late, but I hope this time traverses through the intial burn, to the warm afterglow as soon as is humanly possible. I appreciate that it can be as complex a time as it is painful.
However ; the memory of a great man, the example he set - and the inspiration he has 'stamped' on your own onward influence - that is the stuff that lives on . That uncanny feeling you will often get in the years ahead, when you feel him next to you , and inside your thoughts, wherever you are. It's as if (in the longer term ) we never truly 'lose' our loved ones, we simply free them from one geographical location.
Respectful regards to the 'Leader of the band' - and his family.
Derek.
