AFTER DINNER WALK FALL 2013
Badger passed away on Sunday July 13th. In his home as he wished, to Monty Pythons video from the Life of Brian
“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”. I wish I could put that in this message but I don't even know how.
Badger was a very private, quiet, gentle man, with a brilliant mind and humble spirit.
I have never written a diary nor been on Kos. It was Badger's place and I respected his privacy.
It amazes me to see 69 diaries and over 11,000 comments. He spoke here more than anywhere else in life, so I feel I owe his Kos friends a final farewell.
I would love to give him due credit by writing something eloquent and profound, but I am not Badger.
I am his “American Success Story” , his “Calamity Jane”, his love, his partner, his wife.
He never waivered in his devotion to myself and our daughter, he never raged nor felt sorry for himself throughout his cancer ordeal.
As someone else stated … he was a class act.
I loved him immensely, I will miss him forever.
“For life is quite absurd And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death...(Whistle)
a-Just before you draw your terminal breath...(Whistle)
Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see its all a show, keep 'em laughin as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And...Always look on the bright side of life...(Whistle)
Always look on the right side of life...
C'mon Brian, cheer up
Always look on the bright sideof life...
Always look on the bright sideof life...”
