Had the pleasure to work with him on [Bull] โ one of our Incredible Wardrobe Team. He was kind and all heart and the world will miss his Beautiful Soul. Rest in Power. We will miss you.” Many of his followers have since replied to the post with their own messages of sympathy, with one writing, “Oh, no! I’m so sorry about your friend. You can see the kindness radiating from his eyes in his picture. Please extend my condolences to his family, and to his work family as well.”
