He was a joy to work with in any environment and so generous."
He was shy and funny and so so comfortable on stage.
Like his second skin.
You couldn’t take your eyes off him."
After theirOne Tree Hillexperience, Lenz said she and Teal “stayed in touch on and off.
I wish it had been more.
I wish I’d called all those times I meant to but got distracted.
