5. I have thought about eggbeater daily, wondering how he was doing and

thinking how happy he must be to see the out come of the election.

He was very brave person to face death in so calm a manner, I hope I could do the same.

Peace be with you eggbeater and your family.

He posted in GD and I was so taken by his post then that I wanted to share it with the Lounge.

Have a good journey eggbeater, I will be thinking of you.

6. That's such awful news.

Rest in peace, eggbeater.

[crim son]

7. Oh.

I thought about him recently. I didn't know him, but witnessed his reappearance several weeks ago. He seemed to be doing well but I didn't get the feeling he was under any illusions. Rest in peace, eggbeater.

14. Safe passage, eggbeater.

Kicked and recommended.

:kick:

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. I didn't know eggbeater

At all.

As with many who live near us — geographically or digitally — my first knowledge of him was upon his passing.

Yet, I feel his loss.

What I find amazing, though, is that he apparently entrusted his wife to post on his behalf after he left this life.

That should speak volumes as to what he thought of us.

I didn't know him. But I shall miss him.

[speedoo]

17. This is how I first got to know eggbeater.

It's the thread in which he first told us about his pancreatic cancer, on Sept. 10. If you read it, you may be inspired by him, as I was.

And in this thread, he updated us on Sept. 30.... it was not good news, but he was still inspiring to me. He died about five weeks later:

[speedoo]

32. wednesday pm kick nt

[Little Wing]

33. Does anyone know how old he was?

[speedoo]

34. I don't but my impression is he was not a young man.

He did not tell us a lot about himself, other than his illness and his appreciation for what DU was all about.

I am looking forward to reading his final farewell letter to us. I'm crying again now, just thinking about that.:cry:
