I have great admiration for this man and read a bit about him and his work in the library some years ago. It is sad to see him go. He is a name to go down in history. A man who put his life to get what others couldn't - justice. He describes his work
I am someone who seeks justice, not revenge.

Here are some of his words:

And hopefully, there won't be anymore need for these kind of men.

May he never be forgotten
