Ave atque value

My boss died today. He'd been diagnosed with liver cancer about a year ago, far too late to do anything about it. Thank heavens he had all the time to get his life finished properly before the time came for him to go to see Ceiling Cat.

He was a very good man, a leftish political activist in his day, a radical Catholic who actually tried to act like Jesus, not like a self-righteous dick like most religious people. He gave me a chance when I had no real trackrecord and precious little self-confidence, so now I have a trade.

I don't think anyone really dies as long as what they've done in this world keeps bearing fruit. In that sense, Gerard may well be immortal.
