'It still hasn't fully sunken in for me that he's no more. Being someone who's terrible at grieving, I hark back to all the tough times Floyd has gone through in his own life. Just thinking of his resilience in times of adversity gives me some strength to at least begin to cope with this deep loss. A couple of days ago, a close friend pointed out that Chef Floyd and I shared a faint physical resemblance, like he could easily be someone from my family. It's hard to argue that in so many ways, because he truly was.'

That's from Chef Thomas Zacharias's moving tribute to Floyd Cardoz, who passed away last week.
