tals (real name Endel Öpik), who died of a suspected heart attack aged only 37
It’s devastating. Nobody should die that young, and no person could come close to replacing Tal. A fun and really decent person, he was one of the heros of Picnic and Piracy, there was Tal, master of the high seas here in Leytonstone. His presence (and height...!) filled the Elsinore at Whitby, and he was always fun to chat to, and always had something interesting and cheeky to say, or something about ickle pixies. Or he was attempting to tempt me with that big grin to various dubious parties. So many memories....but that’s we have now, just memories of Tal. I never even made it to last Whitby, so didn’t get to see him then, which makes it all worse, and makes me feel very sad indeed.
And now he’s gone, but with a smile, to that big party in the sky. I hope it’s a better place.
I’ve run out of words to say. It’s all such a shock.

Date: 2005-11-23 09:32 pm (UTC)I'm becoming increasingly convinced that life well and truly sucks. Damnit. This year is not turning out well for folk...ok, it's no disasterous. But let's face it, the final result is pretty poor...
ack
Enough whinging.
