I can't help to think about your statement that he was not important or accomplished. Maybe that's how he saw himself.

He had friends who cared for him as well as you. He had empathy and cared for vulnerable animals. He was a strong Democrat meaning he also cared about other people's condition. This man accomplished more in life than many of the phonies we see on TV every day.
