Ser Camaris Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Gone, but not never forgotten. Professor Michael Whincop 12/12/1968-25/6/2003 Eulogy They are not dead, Who leave us this great heritage Of remembered joy. They still live in our hearts, In the happiness we knew, In the dreams we shared. They still breathe, In the lingering fragrance windblown, From their favourite flowers. They still smile in the moonlight's silver And laugh in the sunlight's sparkling gold. They still speak in the echoes of words We've heard them say again and again. They still move, In the rhythm of waving grasses, In the dance of the tossing branches. They are not dead; Their memory is warm in our hearts, Comfort in our sorrow. They are not apart from us, But a part of us For love is eternal, And those we love shall be with us Throughout all eternity. ----------------- Not how did he die, but how did he live? Not what did he gain, but what did he give? These are the units to measure the worth of a man as a man, regardless of birth. Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed? But had he befriended those really in need? Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer, to bring back a smile, to banish a tear? Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say, but how many were sorry when he passed away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 That time of year again already? For those that never knew him, and by now there are quite a few, Michael was a gentleman, a scholar, a fine moderator of this board, an irreplaceable member of this community and of course a funny, fiercely intelligent man taken from us too soon. I have my favourite whisky on hand (10 year old oak aged Macallan). I'll drink it, to his memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'm always so touched when I see this thread come up. You have been a fine friend, Ser Cam.

Hereward Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 RIP Lord Manwoody. He was the second person I ever met on the board. We drank single malt together. It was the only subject on which I ever knew him to be wrong! He is still much missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
