There's no regrets, no tears
goodbye... The Walker
Brothers.
My
friend Kim Kratky wrote his own obituary, which, if you knew Kim,
seems somehow fitting. Apparently, he wanted to make sure it was
correct. Kim taught English for many years, was a prolific writer
and one of the few people who can write a sensible route description
in a climbing/hiking or skiing guidebook.
What
I really like about Kim's obituary is this paragraph: “Kim
always said he had no regrets - there was no “bucket list” left
for him. He imagined himself as like a character in Shakespeare’s
Macbeth: “We shall not soon see his like again. He was right.”
How
many of us can say the same?
