    I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Pritchard and embarking on a lengthy discussion. It’s was fun listening to him speak of his past, which was quite fascinating.

    To his sons: my deepest condolences. A loss of a parent … there are just no words.

    To his friends and family: thoughts and prayers.

    My deepest condolences.
