He was gifted and he gave. We are all lucky for it. Harry Buckholts

Descanse en la Paz de Dios, amigo Gary. Gracias por su legado musical y por sus obras de caridad

'It's not that I'm so cheerful-but I'll always raise a smile If at times my nonsense rhymes -then I'll stand trial' " No words left to send and light upon the page Now that the legendary Commander has left the stage Just to thank you-for your sharing your gift of wonderful music with me I saw you perform just twice A truly highlight of my concert going life A music so regal and profound It touched the depth of memory That glorious and unique 'Procol' sound And now that you have sadly passed We will not be able to share a drink and have a bloody good laugh!" From Eamonn Harvey .A poem for the late,great Gary Brooker
