I had fallen out of touch with him since high school, but I'm pleased to learn that he continued to be devoted to community service and civic participation. It is a terrible shame that he died so young in life. He had tremendous potential and I know he would have done a lot of good for a lot of people in this world. That's just what he was like. He was truly a ray of sunshine. <br />God bless him and his family. Although I know they are suffering, I hope that they may take comfort in the fact that his life, although short, was bright and meaningful. He will be truly missed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-64034302895507482082009-07-15T07:43:16.203-04:002009-07-15T07:43:16.203-04:00So far at least, there haven't been any gay-ba...So far at least, there haven't been any gay-bashing comments.

I am so saddend by his passing but now encouraged to do more for this city in his name. To Linda, and Phil and Desiree, I can only tell you how much Desi touched me and my heart, which is so broken now. May we all cherish the moments he help to brighten, I love you and miss you so much already....gone to soon!

It will probably be eye-opening to see the extent of anti-gay sentiment in Bristol. My fear is that there will be too many to count, given the usual tone of the posts that actually make it through your editing. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
