In loving memory of Colonel Gourounisios

It is with a heavy heart I report the passing of Colonel George "Gourounisios" Bruce. He had been missing for quite some time and I did fear the worse, but I have received news that he has passed into Jah's loving hands.

May he rest easy knowing those who are left behind will continue to carry the banner of the KoP that he loved so dearly.

May he rest in peace :salute 2:

May Colonel George "Gourounisios" Bruce rest in peace.

He was a great knight of the Phoenix who made all of us proud.

:salute 2:

this is a sad news to me. Shall hold a funeral services for him ?

I believe paying respects would be enough here.

Gour was a quiet, private person and I also believe that he would be pleased and apprecative with just a quiet rememberance of him here.

Jah rest his soul, we have lost an honourable knight.

I did not get to meet him i feel bad about that. I will remember his name always. I pray Jah has given him his wings already to watch over us.

Peace be with you Great Knight.

There are a number of people in Stafford who wish to hold a memorial for Gour. It will be held in the Stafford Church forum, Forum 2. I think it will allow for any who wish to attend to do so without travel to Stafford as I think that is an open and public forum. I know I can access it even if I am not within Stafford's borders.

I will post here when I know the exact date. I think Salter, Stafford's current Duke, is going to post an announcement in the London Commons as well.

It is indeed sad to note the passing of Colonel Gourounisios. He was a man committed to serving his community, a devoted warrior who fought against those who would do harm to the honest, hard working people of our land. The KOP was a better place because of his involvement, a dedicated, honest and soft spoken man whose passing leaves us saddened. Paying homage to his life, recognizing the number of people he influenced, his character, as a citizen, the example he set for others to follow is a testament to the values he held to be true.

Jah's speed Colonel Gourounisios.

:salute 2:

England has lost a good man
the Kop has lost a good brother

MAy jah receive him within his graces

Colonel Bruce's memorial service will be held on June 21 in the Stafford Churches forum, Forum II

Anyone residing in England should be able to see that forum (baring issues with the forum itself).

I am sure he would be honored by the attendance of those he called friends and comrades.

Col Gourounisios was an honourable man and A well respected Knight, we will come say goodbye to our fellow Brother who has passed on.

I believe that England, Scotland and Ireland can all see it, so hopefully those of us beyond England's borders can pay their respects too.

Although my Char is now in Coma. But My retainer (NPC - Mac Ming) will be attending on my behalf.

Is there anything we can do for him?

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.

May he rest in peace, till we meet again.

General Elson, Gour respected you greatly and I think your presence there, in whatever shape or form, would be all that he asked or needed.

Col. Tastie, truer words were never spoken. I look forward to the day when Gour and Aiiane can meet again, whereever that may be.

I havent been a member for so long and I havent meet all of this great soilders of the Crown but I wished that I could, and now I know that I wont see one loved like this.
