My kid noticed I was sad this morning and asked why. I explained that one of the heroes of my youth, and a great inspiration to me in becoming a scientist, passed away. We lost an intellectual giant. Rest In Peace, John #Cacioppo. There won’t be another one like you. 
If you felt arrogant in your knowledge, all you had to do was read Cacioppo. He knew mathematics and physics. He knew history and philosophy. He knew physiology and neuroscience. And he knew psychology. I wanted to be like him but knew I would never be able to.
I will never forget the time, after a conference talk I gave on the circumplex model of affect, out of the crowd walks THE John T. Cacioppo. Shakes my hand, congratulates me on my talk, and tells me that he disagrees with the model. I think my knees buckled.
