“And even then, AI-Dennett will never give you a big, grandfatherly hug.” I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. Thank you for writing this sweet remembrance of him. This piece really helps humanize Daniel Dennett for those of us, like me, who only know him through his writings.
I'm sad that I never met him. Back in the late 90s or early 2000s I invited him to speak at a conference I was organizing (with a transhumanist theme). Alas, he was going to be sailing at the time. One of my favorite philosophers. I especially like his approach to "free will".

Always sad to see the passing of an intellectual giant. So glad that we live in an era when their thoughts are preserved for future generations.
