I like the 4th one.
I'm going to miss Gaffer so very much, I already have been the past few weeks.
He's got my prayers, I know he's at peace. Trinity you too are in my prayers. God Bless.

May God welcome home a hero as man now walks victoriously into the next life; having fulfilled his journey. May you and your family find comfort and strength during this time.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

A great loss for all that knew him. Your father helped me several times by way of giving great advice over these few years I knew him.
We had email chats over these years as well as pms here and in the emails he spoke even more candidly and as a true friend. No way can I express in mere words my admiration adequately for his thoughtful and generous words of advice and encouragement.
O' that my son grow up to be such an honorable and principled man!

I'm going to miss him greatly. He was a good man, I know that even though I never met him in person.
I know your sorrow, Trinity. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Farewell, Gaffer.

I shall certainly miss Gaffer. He always struck me as being a man of great integrity, someone whose views and personality commanded much respect and made a considerable contribution here.
We are much the poorer for his departure .. from DP, and from life.
My deepest sympathy for your loss, Trinity.

Well, dammit....
I am so sorry for your loss. I must say that t always hurts when we lose a "brother in arms" and that is what Gaffer is to me.
Rest in peace, my friend!
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

Logged in , saw the black ribbon and just starting crying. Can't seem to stop the tears.
Haven't been here for awhile .... sad time of the year for me ... sister passed away on 18th two years ago.
Trinity .... still sending prayers your way for you and your family. I will truly miss your dad and his support.

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~

The best song I can think of you chose to offer in remembrance of Gaffer. ...Trinity, I am so sorry for your loss. And ours. I am so sorry I did not see this earlier. My deepest condolences

You should hit play my friend..
I honestly think that was a perfect choice as tribute to Gaffer.
My sister came in a moment after I watched it and she asked immediately, what's wrong? Something bad has happened?
I then explained and she then watched the video and outright cried.. --Tyr

Activated tear ducts are God's antidepressants.
The loss of Gaffer has touched me deeply. The world was a better place with him in it.
