Farewell My Friend

I remember the days that we spent together in my pursuit to further my knowledge, you as my mentor and I as your pupil. Down through the years we have had more then just a teacher and pupil relationship, we became the very best of friends. I watched your hair turn grey and then you watched mine, sadly I received news today coming from afar that you have gone on your final journey and we shall never have those long academic discussions ever again. Such news that greeted me gave me such a heavy heart and tears in my eyes, for I know I shall never see my dear friend again. I will forever cherish the fond memories of the past years we had shared and our friendship and reminisce on all the good times for those will always be with me. You will always have a very special place in my heart, my mentor and my dear friend always. A friend that shared my life. Note: Farewell to Klaus Goebel, ING (Radio Engineer), Neu-Isenburg, Germany ~ may you rest in peace old friend. 4th July, 2012 (c)
