In reply to Eric R. Somewhat belatedly I opened this message and could not believe it. I have so enjoyed Kerry's truths and stories over the years; a style all his own with such integrity. My thoughts are with his family, who I feel we know so well through his writings, and the team at CL.

My CL favorite article writer. Kerry’s story telling was compulsive listening and a source of learning. The comments above reflect a man of great wisdom, great conviction and faith who has shared his life with so many over so many years. Thank you.

I’m shocked and saddened to hear of Kerry’s passing. I’m based in Melbourne, Australia and have been a subscriber to this blog since early 2000’s after reading Crucial Conversations. I’ve never met Kerry but feel like I know him through his stories of experiences with people around him over the years, written with such candour, humour and meaning. He’s influenced me from afar, for which I’m grateful.

My deepest condolences to Joseph and the team and to Kerry’s family and loved ones. May we continue to remember him.
