timkawakami: RT davidaldridgedc: Bill Gildea was an incredible writer, and a better person. Someone that talented could have been a tortured person. Bill, by contrast, was a delight, with an incredible smile and laugh. RIP to one of the best ever at the Post.

This is impossibly sad. Bill Gildea was the best of what we can do, and always so encouraging to newcomers. So many lessons from him, foremost among them: shut up and listen. Listen listen listen. RIP.
