David Grimes - Farewell

To one of the best friends I have ever had - there was never a dull moment when you were around! You enlightened me in so many ways not least by furthering my existing knowledge of art, music, films: thank you for introducing me to "Amadeus" - no one else could have ever done that (and they tried)!

And the joys of script-writing...(I WILL make one of those films someday...someday...)

To the friend who used to kite-surf to work...! You always did have style...!

To the friend who came up with my nick-name "Trigger" all those years ago - without which there would be no TrigFX today.

To the friend who always made me laugh - especially with that handshake of yours! I did wonder why you tried to make me remember it again last February...now I know. I wish I had stayed in touch with you more after the 90's - but thank God for Facebook or I would never have found you again!

Found you - only to lose you again. I love it that you came to say goodbye to me - but hated that you felt things were so bad you had to leave. Permanently. You always liked to make a big entrance - and I always said that your exits could do with a bit of work...some things never change, huh?

There is a deep hole in my existence where you used to be - I will miss you deeply, my friend. But I will join you sometime - just not yet. Save a place for me, and keep riding those clouds....

This was put together in only a couple of days, just prior to the memorial service. With a few more days work, it could've been much improved...pity.

The music track is Han's Zimmer's "Time" from the "Inception" Soundtrack - it matches the passage of time as shown in the vid - and in the film, it's used right at the end when the lead character finally finds his way home...which I hope is where David has finally arrived. May God rest his soul.
