RIP my good friend

Dear all,

I have tried to carry on as normal in the last two weeks. Its been a real trial.

2 weeks ago, I lost my right hand in the department. He died in a climbing accident, found roped to his climbing partner the next morning. It was on national news in the UK - Anglesey.

Today we buried him, and celebrated him. He leaves a 6 year old daughter and 10 year old son. He also leaves a wonderful wife and hundreds of bereft individuals.

I cant describe how I have felt these last two weeks. He was such a great human being. Truly an inspirational bloke. He understood what was important and what was just crap. He could make me discard the unimportant in  a second.

I do not have faith. If you do, please say a little prayer for Vaughan and his family. I have done all I can for them and still feel empty.

Just to know that some of my friends, here, where I spend a great deal of my spare time, would give him and his family a moment would be great.

normal service will resume

 

Paddy

Sorry to hear this Poidsly, It is never an easy thing to go through and always takes a while for you to get things into perspective again. 

Take time to mourn and know that the rest of us are here if you need us. 

RIP climbing dude.

Thanks guys.

Funeral brought it to a head. I've just had to keep going, sort his work stuff out, clear his desk - all the things a manager has to do, but a friend shouldn't have to do.

Got to just let it go and remember him as best as I can.
