April 5, 201511 yr May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind ever be at your back, May you find old friends waiting to greet you, there on the outside track.We're gathered together old times to remember, 'tis but for ourselves we would grieve, So we'll sing you a chorus and bid you farewell - fair winds and a following sea. We'll sing of 'The Leaf' and 'The Parting Glass', we'll raise up our voices in song, No sadness today for the one who has passed, celebrate with a voice glad and strong. A catch in the throat, a tear in the eye, but no funeral dirge will this be, We'll roar 'Auld Lang Syne' as a victory song - fair winds and a following sea. And those of us left here will miss a true friend, who shared with us good times and bad, Raising a glass to your memory we'll say: “We've known you – why should be we sad?” We honour a life that was lived to the full, we honour a spirit, now free. You'll long be remembered, whenever we say: “Fair winds and a following sea!” You'll long be remembered, whenever we say: “Fair winds and a following sea! 100%75%50%d8a34be0e82d98b5a45ff4336cd0dddc Patrick

April 5, 201511 yr What a great gesture Patrick. I sincerely hope, given his condition and the appearance of how fast things progressed (from the day he made his initial announcement to his passing), that he didn't suffer and that his passing was peaceful. Mike
