I too am deeply saddened by the loss of Luther...
About 5 years ago, while in L.A. on business, I had the pleasure of meeting Luther Vandross. He was so nice and appreciative of his fans.
I remember asking Luther if I could to take a picture with him and one of his "people" rudely refused and urged Luther to move on. Luther apologized for this person and promised to take a picture with me after addressing the crowd. Once he finished speaking with the crowd, Luther found me in the crowd and allowed me (and my co-workers) to take a picture of and with him. It was great!!!
He will be missed!
