Re: Bandido1 was gravely ill

Like you Wendy, I couldn't bring myself to type what he had gone through. The pain was just too fresh, but yes, he had been having some health issues for a little while now. He suffered a heart attack early last year and had been out of work for about 7 months to rehabilitate. On top of that he'd been diabetic for a number of years and been doing dialysis 2-3 times per week. Late last year he was hospitalized briefly with pneumonia and then a few days ago had breathing issues which lead to what you mentioned. He was actually 59 (still too young).

The funeral arrangements is as follows if anyone in interested in attending. Sorry it's such short notice but I just got the details.


Viewing and service will be held on Saturday July 17 starting at 900am at:

Bethel Deliverance International Church
2901 West Cheltenham Ave
Wyncote, PA 19095

The burial will take place immediately following at:

Merion Memorial Park
59 Rock Hill Rd.
Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004

Re: Tribute to Bandido1

wow!

Not sure how to react to the sudden sad news!

First, my deepest condolences, to his family members.

Second he was missed when he chose to pursue other interest, and will still be missed, because he was a very strong asset to the Jamaicans.com community with his contributions and sharp wit!

You were a shining star on the board with your humour as well as bringing out the humour in others. RIP

Re: Tribute to Bandido1

Bandido must have been a fairly young person, pursuing his PhD. at a time in the not too distant past.
May his passing bring comfort to his soul and additional strength to his loved ones.

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world where few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real I keep it alive
The road is long
There are mountains in the way
But we climb a step every day
Lord lift her up where he belongs
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Lord lift him up where he belongs
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow


Some hang on to used to be's
Live their lives looking behind
When all we have is here and now
All our lives Out there to find
The road is long
There are mountains in the way
But we climb a step every day
Lord lift him up where he belongs
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Lord lift him up where he belongs
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow
Time goes by No time to cry

Life's You and I Alive... today
Lord lift him up where he belongs
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Lord lift him up where he belongs
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

L was such a sweet and charming, gentle man. His jovial spirit has been missed here over the past couple years, although he stopped by once in a while. He was a great part of this board and community.
