Farewell, Brother Georg Edvard

Georg Edvard Mateos

 

Arrived: March 9, 1925

Departed: August 30, 2010

 

 

“Farewell, my brother, fare thee well.

The elements be kind to thee, and make

Thy spirits all of comfort: fare thee well.”



William Shakespeare

 

We finally got the confirmation, yesterday

That Brother Georg Edvard, has gone away

His daughter said he passed last August 30th

Many here in A.D. are extremely sad, today

 

Many of us had truly hoped he would return

And grace us all, with his wit and his wisdom

But alas, his journey here on Earth, is complete

His departure, from family and friends, has come

 

Soldier, Sailor, Artist, Author, and Poet

Always Willing to Help Anyone, in Any Way

Sage Mentor and True Friend, to So Many in A.D.

Knowing He’s Truly Gone, Saddens Our Hearts Today

 

The Den Will Never Be Quite The Same, Without Him

May His Memory Long Live, In The Passageways of A.D.

May His Journey In The Heavens Above, Be a Grand One

Dear Brother Georg Edvard, Adios, and Farewell, To Thee

 

 

“Farewell, my brother, fare thee well.

The elements be kind to thee, and make

Thy spirits all of comfort: fare thee well.”

 

His Daughter’s Message to A.D. Member Tom Hyland,

Can Be Read In The AuthorsDen ‘News’ Section.

Oh Ed, I am so sorry I missed this since we have been waiting for his return for a long time. He will certainly be missed very much and you are right, it will never be the same without him. I pray that he has now found peace...

Be always safe,
Karen

Thank you, Ed (and Tom's News report) for the information on Friend Georg! Let us celebrate his life and his frienship, and the wonderful words he shared with us here on AD and in his books. We have missed him, and that is the sadness.
Blessings and Love - Micke

I am so sad since I have heard the news. It is a good thing to finally know. It was a long wait but somehow I always knew he did leave us.
He is certainly all that you say in this poem, but especially to all of us he was the Father of the Den. It definitely has not and will not ever be the same without his charm and love.
I feel his energy all the time and I know that he is at peace.
Thank you for such a beautiful tribute to one amazing crazy man!
I just cannot bring myself to write about him yet, I am too choked up inside.

Love you Ed for all that you do and all that you stand for,
Amber

My heart is broken ... my deepest condolences to his family. He leaves behind his AD family, as well. RIP, Marine. You've earned a HERO'S rest.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

ED ... WELL SAID, MY FRIEND!

TO GEORG EDVARK - I SEND A 'FINAL SALUTE' ...

TO YOU - I SEND YET ANOTHER, OF MANY SALUTES!

P.S. HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE FROM MATT MILLER ...

WONDER IF HE WILL CONSIDER LEAVING GEORG'S SITE UP FOR SOME TIME -
AS A 'MEMORIAL' - SO THAT MANY CAN CONTINUE TO READ AND SEEK OUT
HIS WISDOM ...

So sad; I figured Georg Mateos had died; we hadn't heard hide nor hair of him in quite a while. Sorry to hear that this has been the case. He will be missed by many here in the AD family; I know I lost a valuable friend who always had nothing but praise or encouragement for my writing. That meant a lot to me. Still does. Beautiful tribute to a true hero! He will be missed greatly!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :( +Tears!+

This is a beautifully written tribute and farewell to one of the Dens most popular poets. He will be sorely missed by so many. At least we have closure and a clear memory of our loss to ponder from this day forward.

He has been missed and I think will always be missed by those of us fortunate enough to have met him. I also wrote my farewell to Georg this morning but yours says it all and so much better, thank you for sharing such a wonderful tribute to a great man and a great friend.

Ed, thank you for sharing this information. Like so many of our Denmates, I had often wondered what had become of Georg, knowing full well that this was the likely reason we were no longer being blessed by his fantastic works. He was a real asset to all of us who shared his passions. He has been and will continue to be missed here on the Den. Dick
