Tonight, nationwide, numerous glasses of Jameson and Guinness were lifted in his honor.
There have been many tributes written, and I have no way to ever match the eloquence of those who have committed numerous kind and thoughtful words in memory of this man.
I never met him, but I checked his postings daily. I found out about his passing the morning after, having dragged myself out of bed around 0500 to hit the elliptical as part of my rehab from my lower back surgery. His blog post from the day before carried a not so insignificant amount of foreshadowing, alluding to an equipment malfunction on his aircraft, and reading the words that morning from one of his proxies with a photo of the missing man formation all but solidified my fears.
Since then we have had an initial commemoration of his passing, and now a one year remembrance.
His words have been repeated daily at another site, and his site remains active, hopefully in perpetuity. It's helped those of us who followed his words remember the man, and it has helped greatly.
Continued Fair Winds and Following Seas Sailor, and rest your oars.
