I haven't been able to get to a computer for a while so my post has been delayed.

I was fortunate in that my broken scaphoid meant I am off work and I was able to attend Sam's funeral. I only met him once on the friday night before his accident, but his voice of reason on this site (esp in that deleted threaded) has been inspirational to me. All the wonderful things that were said about him at his funeral confirmed my impressions that he was a very special young man, and I feel so honoured that I was able to join my fellow KBers in this celebration of his life. When we formed an honour guard outside the church I wasn't able to hold back and the tears flowed, not only for Sam, but for all those I've tried to save who died before their time.

We are all very fortunate to have had Sam come into our lives, however briefly. He has touched so many. RIP.

I am so proud to be a KBer and to know so many wonderful people. Thanks to WT who borrowed a horrible bike from because it was suitable for taking a broken pillion.
