  I just received an email.

  The last JW that I absolutely loved died yesterday.

  He was funny, loving, kind, smart and quirky.

  When he was the TMS overseer, if you did a substitute talk he would say "I'm going to put a 'G' under point number 99: Suave, Sophisticated and Debonair" (that was back when we got graded).

  And, he was very intelligent - we played Trivial Pursuit (his favorite game) - he got all the pieces, except Sports, on his first turn. He never watched sports so he never knew the answers.

  Rest In Peace - I hope that God allows you into heaven even though you were part of an evil cult

  I'm sorry for your loss and all I know is that if God exists (I'm still searching) he's definitely reading this man's heart and will show great kindness to him

  We had an elder who lived next door, he was sweet like that. I do not think this man you loved so dearly would be denied a just reward.

  RIP

  talesin, essentially that is what I hope.

  Surely, if I can see that this man was amazing - he can too

  It is sad. I remember as a child an older brother who loved everyone, never had a bad word to say and passed away.

  I was broken hearted as he lived his life under the golden rule.

  If you laughed he laughed with you, if you cried he cried with you, if you needed a shoulder he gave you his.

  heartbreaking but God reads the heart and I am sure he has a special place!

  He sounds like a very special person. I hope the good memories of him will comfort you at this difficult time. All the best to you and his friends and family.
