He taught me that life was short [even before this], live life to the fullest [see the world], follow your passions [for him, flying & Rolex!], and do it all with a smile on your face [I'm still working on that one].
RIP, my friend. You've made the world a better and happier place.

Dan,

I'm sorry to hear this.

Obviously he taught you things, that a lot of us needs to get a remainder of from time to time. A good friend, no doubt.

Perhaps he and his passion for Rolex influenced you, like you and your passion for Tudor influence me.

Take care!

Best regards from your "Tudor cyber friend",

A

P.S. I hope this came out as I meant. English is not my native tongue...

Sorry to hear Dan..

Colnago · 6 April 2010, 03:05 AM

Dan, that is sad news......I am sure that knowing each other brought smiles to each of your faces.....I bet you learned a lot from him and that he was happy he passed something on to you.......it's a sad time right now but at least you met and knew each other.......these kind of people you always miss....it gets easier and you remember them with a smile rather than a tear eventually....sure he was a great man.....thinking of you now mate

Dan, so sorry to hear of your loss. Heartfelt condolences to you and your good friend's family. He gave you the best advice on life that he could.

Deepest symathies to you for your loss, Dan.

Thank you for bringing it here to share with your friends. It wouldn't have even required a Rolex connection for that.

Take care.

JJ Irani · 6 April 2010, 03:24 AM

Dan, anyone who would have you as a friend would have to consider themselves very lucky!!

The loss of your friend is indeed a very sad occurence. I do feel sorry for your loss; but life must go on, my friend.

May God give you the strength at a time like this to bear this burden.

My heartfelt condolences - JJ

Sorry to hear this, Dan. A longtime co-worker of mine just passed a couple of weeks ago at 41. It was a shock to see someone so young go.

My condolences.

Dan, Sorry for the loss of your friend. It sounds like he was a great person.

BASSETHOUNDS · 6 April 2010, 04:19 AM

Sorry to hear about your loss Dan and my commiseration to his loved ones . This reminds me about my Rolex mentor that passed away a couple of months ago . I also posted a tread on the forum in homage to the man that introduced me to Rolex . He was the younger son of two of a prominent jeweler and actually the man that brought Rolex to our town . I never ever met another man that could talk so passionately about Rolex watches . It was him that took the time during a holiday stay in portugal to explain the workings and details of the TT Datejust he was wearing at the time to a 14 year old boy ... me .

Esexx · 6 April 2010, 04:28 AM

I am sorry about your loss and I know he will be missed. A good life lesson.
