[Bordermarch] Passing of Don Henri / Fw: [WSA] Sad Tidings

[Bill C Burgin]

We have lost too many in recent years... for those of you who never had the pleasure of meeting Don Henri, think of the way that Don Armand laughs as he lays waste to his opponents - for the sheer joy of the game - and you will have an idea of what is was like to spend time with this man of integrity and wit.  I will miss my friend.

>> Brothers and Sisters, I am afraid I am the bearer of sad tidings.
>> 
>> Ansteorran White Scarf number 53, Don Henri Molineaux, mka Jeff Girard, died
>> yesterday on Thanksgiving in his sleep.  Jeff had spent many of the past
>> years in constant pain from back and neck problems, and had been told
>> recently that his condition had gotten to the point where surgery was no
>> longer an option, and he would have to continue living as he was.  Jeff saw
>> his doctor on Wednesday, and the doctor gave him a different type of pain
>> medication to start using (some kind of patch is what I've been told). Jeff
>> took the medication yesterday and laid down to rest before Thanksgiving
>> dinner.  When his father went to wake him, Jeff was already cold.
>> Paramedics were called, but there was nothing they could do and he was
>> pronounced.
>> 
>> Jeff's family plans to cremate him.  We do not as of yet have any
>> information regarding services, but as soon as we know anything I'll post it
>> here.
>> 
>> I'd known Jeff since the 7th Grade, and my Lady Anne had known him since
>> first.  He was always a good friend, one who always had your back and was
>> loved to laugh and make people smile.  He loved fencing and SCA with all his
>> being, and was trying to make his way back into the Society he loved.
>> Sadly, like so many of his hopes and dreams, life did not allow him his
>> glory.
>> 
>> Feel free to distribute as you see fit.
