I’ll echo what I responded to Rich on the Facebook “Frozen Four” group:

While his hockey career and life were too short, his legacy of inspiration will live on in the way he showed us all that his disability did not mean “inability.” His fundraising and his personal contact with people have raised the standard of living for countless lives.
