Here’s to a life,
to a man,
to a friend:

who reached down
and pulled me up,
who let others stand
on his giant’s shoulders.

Here’s to someone,
to our friend,
who is absent:

but still present,
in our memories,
in the tall stories told
by the light of a swinging lantern.

Here’s to Mac.

If his friends think of him that way, I'd say it was a life well-lived. I'm so sorry for your loss Ewan

There's that quote about someone's friends being the best measure of their worth and it sounds as though Mac was proof of that. The memories will survive the sadness.

A man written about after his passing is surely a man worthy of respect.

I'm sorry for the loss of your good friend.

Interesting, is it based on the truth? Or is the whole thing made up?

Keep well! Tom
