Never too old!

[Capricruiser]

Rest in peace Egon. I'm happy to have had the opportunity last year on the Magnifica to enjoy your music and share a couple drinks and conversation together.

I was very sad to hear of Egon's passing. My condolences to Steve and family.

It was amazing to see how one man touched the life of so many people around the world who never actually met him, but he was still a very special friend.

My condolences to you and your family Steve.

Rest in Peace Egon. You were an inspiration to us all.

Rest in Peace, Egon. I've been following this thread for month, constantly enamored and and amazed by a man who had enormous musical talents as well as a zest for life.

 

No doubt he will be missed...

I came home to the very saddening news regarding the death of a dear and loving friend who I have known through Cruise Critics since 7/10 before he began his dream. He enriched my life so.

 

RIP Egon.

 

In memory:

I enjoyed the youtube clip. It brought back happy memories of meeting Egon and enjoying his music on the Poesia.

 

He was an amazing man. My friend and I joined him for dinner on his birthday. He gave me a birthday kiss right on the lips-not what I expected from a guy his age. LOL

My condolences to you Steve. I have been following your father a long time. So sorry. I just saw this bad news today.

Here is a video interview with Egon when he was in the first year of his journey. The title of the video is in German (I think) but the interview is in English.

Cheers to a most remarkable man. RIP

Thanks for reposting the link to this wonderful video. BTW, the title and the printed info is, I think, in norwegian (as the author is from Bergen, according to his biography).

 

We will all miss Egon!

I found this and thought others would like to read it.

I hope I have spirit to give it a go when and if I ever get to his age.

 

A truely inspiring man. RIP.

Well...my Dad almost beat Egon's age. He died Friday at the age of 93...

[3dogsrule]

Ohhh Pat, I'm so sorry. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Pat - I'm so sorry you lost your father, that's never easy.

Who knows, maybe he's already met Egon on the other side.

Two strong-willed characters!

Thanks Pat. I had already planned to have a drink in Egon's honor since it's my first solo and he was my inspiration, but I'll be sure to toast your dad too. If he reminds you of Egon, then I'm sure he was a helluva man.

Pat I am sorry for you for the loss of your Dad. No matter how long people get to enjoy their parents, it still is hard to accept when the time comes. But, you were very lucky to have had your Dad for so long. Mine passed at age 59 and that was much, much too young.

Have lots of fun on your solo cruise Karen!! :)

Thank you Carol. I guess you just have to be really ornery to live that long.

Pat, my condolences and my thoughts are with you. I happened on here first time since my father's passing April 30th, and am saddened by your news.

 

Perhaps it is a matter of perspective, but I suspect we would benefit in realizing the honour it is to 'be there' for/during the passing of any of our loved ones.

 

I wish you Peace. Warm Regards ~ Steve Landsberg
