You were my mentor and my friend. Words cannot describe the void that will be left by your passing. You're no longer suffering and that is the only solace I can find. Rest in peace my dear friend and know that your knowledge and skills will live on in all those that had the pleasure of working with you. Fly now with the Angels and watch over us all. ~Mouse~
