...visionary leader of the movement for voluntary service, and perhaps above all, one of those rare characters whose very presence lifted the spirits of those around him, convincing them that life could be meaningful, significant, and at the same time - and this was a key part of his appeal - terrific fun. His passing leaves his country and the world a little less bright...
