paneristi_man Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Sad news indeed. MY deepest condolences to his family. He mentioned before about getting gen watch before he passed so his son will know he's gen. Wonder if he managed to do that? But his character is absolutely gen by any measure.RIP.

cornerstone Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Cats has told us for many years to live the day. This is gut wrenching news. As a wise man once told me, life is the ripple we make in the water. If just a small part of Bert's ripple can make us take the chance, go for it, kiss the girl (maybe not if you're already married), do something that takes it on-board, then it's a big impact from just one man. A big ripple we can all make from his advice. Raising a glass to you Bert.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Rest in peace Cats, my thoughts are with you and your son and family. The past few weeks every time I saw an update in his thread I hoped it would be a reply from him and did wonder if he'd gone into a hospice. We all got to go sometime and Cats inspired me with his selfless attitude to life right up to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Courage is not the absence of fear, but its allowing love to triumph over fear, and striding forward regardless of the anxieties, the uncertainties, the incessant pounding of the heart. We cannot get Cats back, but he lives on through everyone and everything he cared about. His love cut through his disease and infirmities, and shone over his son defying all the physical weakness, till the very last. From Cats, we can learn how to love, and how to give. I think that its the greatest single lesson any human being can learn. I bet that somewhere, right now, our dear Cats is is disease and pain free, and smiling down upon his son, and of course, still dreaming about watches. I suspect that he would for a long long time to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
