Oh, I had never met him in person. I met him online in a group for "nerds".
We had online Bacardis together, but not really in person, but I still have to think of him every time I think of drinking...
He also had a passion for astronomy (do we like to drink more than average people? do we like to evade from this world more than average people?). A pity I can't tell him about my scopes, show him photos etc.
