Rest in Peace Filedem.

With Helias Doundoulakis, George Doundoulakis and you Filedem being once more together,the starting SOE chapter of Cretan resistance is closed forever. Once more, adieu Filedem to you and to all Leventes of Crete, allied and Cretan.

"Crete has become a legend, an epic poem, island of heroes and freedom's temple."

Cretan Rizitika

We will never forget you Filedem since you became like one of us Greeks in your own way. Time will pass but your spirit will always be here with Hellas.
In memory of Sir Patrick Leigh Fermor and George Doundoulakis

Thank you for all those lovely moments, when we remembered on kalamitsi beach of parts of your book.

P. L. Fermor's book "Mani" inspired my wife and me to spend our honeymoon on the Peloponnese. Of course we passed through Kardamyli. Not wanting to disturb him, we left a book at his door and asked him to sign it. We kept coming back, but the book wasn't there. Finally, with the help of the management of our hotel, Mr. Fermor was so kind to receive us and sign the book. This was Oct. 2010. He was in excellent spirits and said he's working on the third volume of his journey through Europe in the 30s. When we told him that we're from Switzerland he could remember skiing in Adelboden as a youth.

We love his travel books above all others and feel very honoured that he was so kind to receive us strangers. We're looking forward to read his biography and further writings. For his travel outside this world we wish him many encounters with kindred spirits.

Thank you, Sir Patrick, for hundreds of hours of pleasure I derived from your works and thoughts. My life is all the richer for having experienced your life through your art.

Rest in peace, after taking so many of us abroad with wisdom,
color, prose and so much rich history. The true travel narrative
extraordinaire, Paddy Fermor. Annie Nichols/San Clemente

My sympathies to family and loved ones. May the God of all comfort be with you as you cope with your loss.

Each time we walk on Greek soil we think and talk about your exploits and love of that country. Farewell to a great Philhellene and writer

"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move"

Rest In Peace

Rest in Peace Michalio. We Greeks will miss you. I hope wherever you are now you drink lots of Tsikoudia and have lots of fun with the old Leventes friends of yours.
"The World and Greece is an orphan without you."

Rest in peace, Paddy. Your love of adventure, Greece, heroism, sense of humour and peerless writing inspired us all.

My sympathy goes to the family and friends of Sir Patrick Michael Leigh Fermor. May your thoughts and prayers bring you comfort. Remember that there b a time when sickness and death will be no more.

Rest in peace, kyr-Michali. I owe you my knowledge and my love for Mani.
My visits to Kardamyli will never be the same.
I have lost a Mentor and a brave compatriot.

Rest in Peace Paddy Leigh Fermor: adventurer, writer, scholar, soldier, raconteur.
We can't hope to see his like again.
The world is a poorer place for we have lost a hero.

Ah, to pallikari mou! A warrior has fallen and a million tears will fall on hot stones.

Yes, a life very well lived. His books are wonderful reads.

A light has left us.

May the God of all comfort be with the Fermor family at this time of grief. John 5:28,29

A great man has fallen. God be with his family and close friends.

What a life! We who cannot hope to actually experience anything approaching it -- and probably won't even enjoy life with health as long as he did -- can certainly experience the wonder vicariously in his writings!

May your memory be for ever eternal. Rest in peace

somehow I thought he was immortal

A man to brought us hope during the German occupation of Crete.

His memory be eternal

Rest in peace.

His name belongs in the pantheon of great travel writers,
but I did not read him until the discovery of a
tattered paperback I found at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios

A man in a million. God bless you.

THANK YOU, SIR,
May your memory be eternal. Rest in Peace.

Philhellene, war hero, brilliant writer. RIP, Patrick Leigh Fermor.

Next to Fitzwilliam Darcy, He was the greatest!

Please accept our sincere condolences. Our heavenly Father assures us soon there will be no more sickness and no more death. Hope this gives the family comfort and hope at this time.

Salutations to a unique man, an inspirational writer, a fearless patriot.

Brendan Lynch, author, Dublin.

"It is good that Mr. Fermor had the opportunity to live to be 96 years old. The Scriptures say that our days are 70 and if by special mightiness they are 80. (Psalms 90:10). I am sure that you have so many memories of him that will bring you a smile when you think of him. My deepest sympathy yo the family. G.Williams, (Al).

What an adventure of Life, itself. Rest in Peace, Sir. You have earned so much more than what could be given to you here on Earth.

What a life this gentleman had. RIP.
