And that's what he is essentially, a nice person who wouldn't hurt a fly, and who everybody loves being friends with. He's like Everybody Loves Raymond, just smarter and less irritating.
Another thing about him, he absolutely hates being described as 'nice'! He thinks it's too common-place, too ordinary. "After all, anybody can be nice!" he thinks. Not true Mr X, not true at all.
Not everybody has that special warmth and graciousness and sincerity to be what he is. And frankly, not many has quite come close to this very special friend of mine.
I think Lynette said it well at their wedding, and if I may just borrow her words...
Thank you for helping me be a better person than I was before I knew you.
