Rest in peace, Turpin

[McClef]

There are tears in my eyes, it is always sad to lose a valued forum member and I echo the sentiments expressed and shall raise a glass to him this evening.

This is such sad news, like many of us I never met Turpin, but grew to know of him through his posts and through examples of his talent. He will be sorely missed.

I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends and want them to know that through his friendships on this forum, lights around the world will be dimmed and glasses raised in his honour.

Slainté mhor! to a great friend. I have wonderful memories of late nights in the 'LaSporratory' and making the first Thorfinn prototype. Love to you my wonderful friends, Haley, Willie and Cindy. Bless you

McFarcus,
I am so sorry for your loss, you have lost a brother and I have lost a friend. Turpin was held in high esteem by our band and his generosity and graciousness will be well remembered and sorely missed. I will miss visiting with him at various games and raising a class as well as receiving a cool drink from him after dismissing the band from a hot and humid parade ground. And his humor and insight into all manner of things kept the conversation going at S.E.K.S Kilt Nights. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Great friends, good comfort





The 'Parting Glass'

Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all

[Chorus]
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

La La

But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

[Chorus]

Good night and joy be to you all.

Condolences to his loved ones.

Rest in peace, Turpin.

A light has gone out of our firmament and we are all darker for it.
