ohh man....
Talked with him several times about different things, great guy....such a shame :(
Bear - Hawk - 09-24-2011
I always had the greatest respect for the way he treated people. He got it.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Condolences to Brendan's family in this time of great loss.
The Lord calls us forward as we are needed. I'll hazard that He needed one of his best.

Rest In peace.

" I am not going to talk about religious beliefs, but about matters so obvious that it has gone out of style to mention them. I believe in my neighbors. I know their faults and I know that their virtues far outweigh their faults. Take Father Michael down our road a piece ' I'm not of his creed, but I know the goodness and charity and lovingkindness that shine in his daily actions. I believe in Father Mike; if I'm in trouble, I'll go to him. My next-door neighbor is a veterinary doctor. Doc will get out of bed after a hard day to help a stray cat. No fee ' no prospect of a fee. I believe in Doc.
Decency is not news; it is buried in the obituaries ' but it is a force stronger than crime.
I believe in the patient gallantry of nurses...in the tedious sacrifices of teachers. I believe in the unseen and unending fight against desperate odds that goes on quietly in almost every home in the land.
I believe in the honest craft of workmen. Take a look around you. There never were enough bosses to check up on all that work. From Independence Hall to the Grand Coulee Dam, these things were built level and square by craftsmen who were honest in their bones.
I believe that almost all politicians are honest. For every bribed alderman there are hundreds of politicians, low paid or not paid at all, doing their level best without thanks or glory to make our system work. If this were not true, we would never have gotten past the thirteen colonies.
I believe in ' I am proud to belong to ' the United States. Despite shortcomings, from lynchings to bad faith in high places, our nation has had the most decent and kindly internal practices and foreign policies to be found anywhere in history.
And finally, I believe in my whole race. Yellow, white, black, red, brown ' in the honesty, courage, intelligence, durability '¦ and goodness '¦ .of the overwhelming majority of my brothers and sisters everywhere on this planet. I am proud to be a human being. I believe that we have come this far by the skin of our teeth, that we always make it just by the skin of our teeth ' but that we will always make it '¦ survive '¦ endure. I believe that this hairless embryo with the aching, oversize brain case and the opposable thumb, this animal barely up from the apes, will endure ' will endure longer than his home planet, will spread out to the other planets, to the stars, and beyond, carrying with him his honesty, his insatiable curiosity, his unlimited courage ' and his noble essential decency.
This I believe with all my heart."
Bear's letter reminded me of this quote from Robert Heinlein. Bear, you're gone too soon.

With all the times he's helped me as an admin, I consider him a good friend. This makes me sad to hear that he died. I hope he's fully naked and having fun wherever he is.
Bear - r3vange - 09-24-2011
All has been said and resaid. I'll just post a quote from one of my favourite songs
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember; we are eternal,
all this pain is an illusion.
Bear - Doc Holliday - 09-24-2011
I had the priviledge of working with Bear as an Admin and RPing with him as a player. This community truly lost a good member.
RIP, Brendan, you will be missed.

Quote:Exigua pars est uitae quam nos uiuimus.
Uita, si uti scias, longa est.
These are quotes of a time long forgotten. I think they are suitable for this.
Naturally i'll provide a translation:
Quote:The part of life we really live is small.
Life, if you know how to use it, is long.
Brendan may have died young, but he really lived in his life. He knew how to use his time, and the time he had left.
Brendan. Pax tecum sit in itinere ulterius.

Turned my signature in this post off, as i do not find it suitable.

Bear, even though your nolonger walking amongst us I suspect that your watching from wherever you are now. Auf Wiedersehen Bear, may you be at peace without ailments nor troubles of the spirit, Bear, Fly Free.
