Quote:I''m sorry... I should have posted to all these friends, that <Mal> passed away 2 days ago and is no longer in pain.... he's flying high above as far as his free spirit will allow. R.I.P. <Mal>, Love ya
New post to <Mal>'s friends that I may not know - he left us today to continue his quest for the eccentric & laid back lifestyle. He is no longer tied to a body that was failing him, but hovering over us now free of pain... Love ya Bro & gonna miss you
Mal was admitted to the Hospital a few days ago with Cardiac issues, and passed away quietly.
Many of us veterans here had the pleasure of RP-ing side-by-side with this extraordinary individual. And I know we will each miss him in our own ways.
A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
