blackjohn Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 I really, really liked that guy. He had such a passion about things. I will treasure the memories I have of him. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
callenish gunner Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Aye he was a fine young man. We had the pleasure of talking on many occasions, he will be missed.
Rumba Rue Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Though I did not know him, tis a sad loss for sure.
Gumbatz Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Aye, Any time one of the brethren departs this world for the next, tis a sad day. May the winds fill yer sails. Calm seas departed one. Antonio Gumbatz, The Italian Pirate Ships cook, Rum swizzler, Swordsman, Flirt. www.babuccs.com
Blackbead Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 My thoughts and prayers are with those that knew and loved him. I believe that he is not gone, just gone ahead. But that is cold comfort to those who are grieving and will miss him for the rest of their lives. I pray that they have strength to get through this ordeal.

Capt. Sterling Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Sorry to hear such sad tidings..kept in touch with him through emails occasionally... a very nice young man. Such a shame.

I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
