    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!

    He'll be giving them heck in Heaven

    We'll miss you Gaffer

    Prayers for you and your family Trinity

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."

    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.

    The picture alone kind of put a lump in my throat, I honestly didn't hit play.

    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.
