I'm sure that tree is leaving a very big clearing. Very sorry to hear this.

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.

Very sad to hear this news Zee.
His mortal presence may have moved on but he will live on with the life legacy he has left those who knew him, especially with you.

My sincerest condolences to Zee and all his loved ones. I’m here if there’s anything I can do.

I was one of the ones blessed to have met him just a few weeks ago. I agree with CPJ. I wish I would have known him sooner. The couple of times I got to see him, even not feeling well, he just naturally had my respect. Even with his discomfort, he made us smile. And made it clear he had things he wanted done….

I’m honored I was blessed with the chance to meet him. Truly humbled. Words escape me. As they often do. That man will have my respect for the rest of my days. His legacy lives on. Including having played such a part in shaping the life of a friend. Which in turn has played a part in shaping the lives of others. Including mine. That’s a hell of a legacy, to start with.

Really sorry for your loss. Never met the man but your feelings about him told me everything I need to know, he must have been an exceptional human being.
