Rienzi's poems on diskettes

Dear family,

I met Rienzi while working at the Dana Porter Library at the University of Waterloo.  One day he told me that he liked what he was doing, but what he really loved doing was writing poetry.  He not only wanted to write poetry, he wanted to publish it.  I had met a kindred spirit!  When he approached me asking if I could type his poems into the computer so he could send a diskette to a publisher, I was more than happy to help out.

And off he went; pursuing what he loved to do … I’ve enjoyed Rienzi’s poetry, and have attended his readings whenever I could.  I was very happy to hear of his success and recognition as a poet.  He deserved it!  I will miss his poetry.

You have my deepest sympathy for his loss.  He loved you all very dearly.
