  2. I am very much shaken up, and very much saddened that that “Vagabond” has left us. I am very much shocked actually. But, I can’t help referring to him fondly as that “Vagabond”.

  5. Condolences to the family. It is a road the majority of mankind on Earth must travel, but sudden deaths are harder to deal with.

    “It is appointed unto man once to die then after this the judgement.” [Hebrews 9:27]

    “God shall wipe every tear from their eyes….no more death, sorrow or pain. For the former things are passed away” [Revelation 21:4]

  9. GRIEF-STRICKEN AND SADNESS DESCENDS

    No doubt a family is left ‘…Grief-Stricken,’ while ‘…Sadness Descends’ upon a nation and people.

    His life and time that most certainly, would be eulogized ‘…sentimentally and hypocritically,’ would have no impact on a man who had given so much of his time with little or no appreciation.

    From a different perspective, for a anyone, as has, undoubtedly, been the case of ‘…Vaughn Walter’ who has worked tirelessly and selflessly for the development and good of the nation’s culture, there should always be ‘…enjoyable retirement moments.’

    Many have been led to believe that humans are living longer.

    This might be true, but it is irrefutable that many are ‘…suffering longer; …dying younger and faster.’

    Now that the ‘…mandatory age of retirement’ is expected to progressively jump from ‘…60 to 65 years,’ seems like many in the civil service may not now witness any ‘…fanfare or send-offs or hear a drum beat,’ before the bell rings.

    The nation and people ‘…mourns the loss of a cultural icon.’

    Rest in Peace Vaugh.
