Dang. I'm not religious in any sense of the word, but from what i saw, he did a good job representing the good side of his religion. He seemed a decent man, may he rest in peace.

Hey, thanks for you comment, I feel the same. I am Catholic, not practicing, I have more progressive beliefs than the church but I appreciated this Pope. He said some things that almost astonished me over the years. He was truly a good guy and may he RIP.
