Goodbye old friend.
I just found out the sad news that my friend, Christopher Roland Le Beau, passed away from cardiac arrest following an accident. I can’t say it any better than our common friend Nathan Miller did, so:
RIP Christopher Roland Lebeau – April 14, 1944 to May 4, 2010.
After showing some positive signs, Lebeau took an abrupt turn for the worse. He was in great hands, received high quality care, and was surrounded by friends to the e…nd. The end was cardiac arrest and a general shutdown. Closing time.
Lebeau went out all right. He had a great night last Saturday, then it was lights out and a hazy week in which he awoke to pretty nurses and people who loved him. He was never in pain and in the moments he was aware, his eyes lit up with happiness when he saw the people around him.
If Chris could write a final status line it might be “…is tits up, mate. second verse same as the first.”
So, no cryin’. Raise a glass of the good stuff to my friend and yours, the toughest guy in town…Christopher Roland Lebeau.
