More than a legend, an icon. A pioneer.
In the 90's, my wife and I were exiting Carnegie Hall after seeing a concert, and we saw Mr. Poitier walking down the stairs. He looked like royalty. He was royalty. As I got outside I had lost my wife. A few moments later she is walking out with Mr. Potier holding her arm. I walked over and all I could say was "I love you". He nodded his head and thanked me. He made this incredibly awkward person feel cool and calm. I don't doubt that his whole life was filled with moments that his fans, admirers and anyone who was able to share a space with him can looks back and treasure.
When God made you, he broke the mold. Rest in Peace.
