The best tribute we can give to those who pass on is fond memories and kind words.

You have done **JB** an honour. I’m very sorry for your loss.

Better to be remembered in a manner that the deceased would approve of, than to be forgotten. I had a friend who passed away, and the only one who seemed to be interested in honoring his wishes was me. Everyone else tried to profit from his death. You’ve done the right thing, **Zen**.

So sorry, **Zenster**.

What they said so much better than I could have. Once again you show what an amazing man you are. **J.B.** was also a very special person, to have touched so many that way. I am humbled, and hope some day to become worthy of such a tribute, when the time finally comes that He calls me home. It is an honor and a privilege to call you friend.

One un-pastuerized Pilsner Urquell from the tap poured, raised, toasted and savoured in memory of your friend.
