I didn't always agree with you, especially on the war and feminism, but you will be missed. Despite what some little coward on Wikipedia writes.

(Seriously, it's already gone, but about 10 minutes ago the last line of his WIki entry read, "Hitchens died on December 15, 2011 at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. He was 62 years old. He will not be missed".)

Edited to remove an unintentional smiley arising from my punctuation.
