The Death of WinAce/Beware of Geeks Bearing Griefs

[Golgo13]

Here's a document composed by Allan on June 6, 2004 that he sent to me which was to be released upon his death.

He later asked for me to destroy it and changed his mind for some reason or another, but I kept it in secrecy anyways.

He refers to his condition being a secret as it was at the time, but he has revealed it since the composition of this eulogy.

So without further adieu, I give you the words of Richard Allan "WinAce" Glen from beyond the grave:

Allan's eulogy in his own irreverant style

I knew each of them before they met, I'm crushed.

Wow. I never knew this man, but reading his letter, I wish I had gotten that chance.

 

[praying]

Though I never knew him I have tears.

Thank you for sharing that.

...and reading his eulogy helped maked this easier.

It was as witty, and as irreverent -- and as sensitive as Allen was.

I guess, well -- because it was written by Allen!

(Though I do have blood in my mouth about the way Allen was mistreated by the political bureaucracy, and there are some politicians who are going to find themselves dealing with they way they treated a human being as a political issue in the 2006 elections -- and that was my promise to Allen!)

What an awesome guy.

He really was an awesome guy. He was at once one of the very brightest, most intelligent, and most interesting people I've ever met.

Very sad.
