Sorry, but I for one am glad this guy has finally kicked the bucket. He deserves everything he gets in HELL!

Of course that's dependent on him and God but I have a feeling I know the outcome.

Tribute to a Fallen Soldier........

Gone,but not forgotten.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn_iz8z2AGw

God Bless,Rest in Peace Warrior.....

He was just a simple soldier and his ranks are growing thin
But his presence should remind us; we may need his like again,
For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.
If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days.......

Perhaps just a simple headline in the paper that might say:
OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, FOR A SOLDIER DIED TODAY. (author unknown)

The passing of our soldiers often go unnoticed and unsung by most of the world, remembered only by family and friends. Wish it were not so. May he RIP, his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.........

I realize it's a Canadian song,however I believe most appropriate for this occasion...

I was born in Poughkeepsie NY, but left in 67',, so I sent the link to the in-laws & out-laws asking for comments.

1st reply: "I did know him years ago. As a kid, he was a mean, scary little bastard."

Evidently,, he started early..

I'll not lift a glass to his memory but still 55 is a bit early - and I wouldn't wish a death from AIDS on anyone.

I'll just let him fade into the past.

Thank you to all that knew what a monster he was & helped me get out the truth. The Sixth Pillar is going to be written properly now. Finally, he can cause no more evil.

I knew Keith way back when he ran the paintball business in St. Pauls, I cut ties with him shortly after working with him as I saw through his BS.

He was scum and made quite a few people miserable with his scams/lies/lawsuits throughout the rest of his life.

The world is definitely a better place with out him. He got EXACTLY what he deserved in the end and now has to pay for it in the afterlife.

Sorry you were put through is drama and it was ALWAYS drama with Keith.

I have a copy of Hunting Bin Laden signed by him, given by a friend. Makes the whole HBL story even more laughable

EDIT: Whoops I didn't realize I've never posted on this site, about to go do the intro.
