Noise Obituaries

Thinking about our friend Gordon. The picture that most readily comes to mind is that little, rectangular black-and-white picture of him clutching what I've always assumed was a beer. Because it's been burned into my brain in his tiny little obituary page.
I still remember him hinting about his intentions. I still feel like I should've been smarter about that. I know it's one of those things you can never really control. I know it's one of those situations where you think, had you said the magic words, you could've done something. But, in the end, I/we/you probably never could have. And, in the end, it's only for your/my own comfort if you'd have died first: "I would swirl all around you, black as the night. A guardian angel, frozen in time. And in that moment, you would all live forever, shimmering stars in that darkness endeavored." (an un-quote from an un-sung song)
He died the same age I was sure I would, though sooner, because I was younger/am older (confusing).
Anyway, that picture is a depressing, simplistic summary. Please post your own.
PS: Probably a link to that "ugly mug" thread would do
