“Being a humanist means that you try to behave as decently, as honourably, as you can without any expectation of rewards or punishments in an afterlife. When we had a memorial service for Isaac a few years back, I spoke at it and said at one point, ‘Isaac is up in heaven now’. It was the funniest thing I could think of to say to an audience of humanists. Believe me, it worked – I rolled them in the aisles. If I should ever die, god forbid, I hope people will say, ‘Kurt is up in heaven now’. That’s my favourite joke.”

Thank you, Mr. Vonnegut, for all you gave.

I’m so sad without him here but so grateful for all he left behind.

He was one of my heroes, too: so pissed off, yet always humane. And I bet he’s keeping them rolling in heaven, too.

There was no one like him. And never will be, either. I’m fluctuating between sadness and anger over his audacity to check out on us. Sigh.
