I suppose because the funeral is imminent and I just miss my friend. But the bolded bit is true: he was excellent at his job. He always used to say that the counter-fraud game is a sales job and he was absolutely right. At the risk of pulling back the curtain a bit, getting liars to buy into their own bullshit by, in my case, sounding like a thick Brummie before taking their account apart is the name of the game. His passing is my loss and I shall miss him greatly.

It's really quite strange that the funeral is tomorrow when it still doesn't feel real. The H&V representatives will do him proud, for that I'm sure.

I'd like to echo the above. I didn't know him but today is going to be sad for those that did. I hope it goes as well as it can and that you all give him a good send off. It sounds like he deserves just that.
