Farewell Leslie.

I did not know you but I suspect you died in exactly the way you would (perhaps did) have chosen.

Would that I am as fortunate to end my days in such a beautiful place doing what I love.

Go well old man.

Agreed Mike, 88 is a fair suck of the Sav, IMO....my wish is to be found with the 'Welcome Stranger's' slightly smaller brother across my chest having died attempting to lift it out of its considerable hole I have just dug.....they will not be able to remove my broad smile......amen.....Hoo Roo

As long as you die doing what you want with your life.
It's a life well spent, no matter what the age.

THAT's a live worth living.

He'd have been happy.
Rather than falling over in a city or old farts palace with Carers.

The only sorrow at a funeral. is the feelings people have at their loss.


I hope they spend enuff of my money when I fall over. to get pissed for a week.
and smile while doing it.

I've had a great life.
With only two, remembered regrets.

Go with god mate. Smiling.
