Not sure what to say?

RIP Redmond. I used to talk to you at the library when I worked there many years ago. You popped into my mind today so I googled you and found this. Such an intelligent and interesting guy with great taste in books. I'll always remember you.

Dear Redmond.... I'm so sorry we lost touch but I've often thought about you over the years and wondered how you were. I've missed our long chats and many many laughs. Know that I always loved you my dear friend. RIP

Redmond, we had the privilege of meeting you many year's ago, your niece Abbey was just 3 year's old. I remember your smile, and your carefree attitude to life, it was very calming! It is such a shame we didn't get to catch up again my friend....RIP Red, Love Always your niece, Abbey Jane Holloway, and Lisa.XOX

Redmond was my tenant and friend for 6 years.Room 20 overlooking St Pauls Cathdral Park and the seaviews.Always happy always funny and so interesting to talk to once he finally accepted me as a friend(This took a while !!)

Redmond, you were so lovely, a breath of fresh air in a crazy world. My time of knowing you was too short. RIP

Redmond, dear friend of long ago,
You came and went briefly. You chose to live with us because of a bowl of floating pink camellias. You also loved the two Crown Lynn dinner plates decorated with pink blossoms. I think of you every time I use them. Even then things were not important to you. Yet you celebrated creating with a community of people in The Long Night, the Passing Night and radiated joy in its song and dance. At the same time you were always a seeker, wanting to need nothing –...

I was so sorry to read of your passing Redmond, you were a big part of my childhood, you always made me smile, I treasure those memories.
I saw and appreciated the wonderful influence that your foster family had on your life Redmond, you were blessed. "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." ~ Leo Buscaglia

To Redmond, so sad we didn't know you were living so close in Auckland. Rest in Peace from Uncle Tony, Aunty Kathy and your cousing Simon, Andrew and Angela.
