PatTragedy strikes the Books Are For Losers family
June 18th 2008 01:28
This is truly a sad day friends.
Two days ago, the inspiration behind this great internet endeavour, Books Are For Losers, met his tragic end.
Chris Bosma was more than just a friend. He was a mentor to many. He was a fine son and a caring brother. He was a proud father and family man. His cheeky smile poking through his bushy beard lit up the lives of so many.
I like to think that Chris and I share a special bond - he always had a word of encouragement for me. There were so many times when it all became too much. I found myself thinking that maybe the internet didn't care about stupid book reviews. I found myself hating this website and everything that it represented... everything that I had to give up to keep it going. But Chris was my rock. His firm hand on my shoulder helped me through the tough times and for that I am... and always will be... truly grateful.
Tragically it has all come to an end... his young flame snuffed out all too soon. Just thinking of what might have been if Chris had lived to reach his full potential... it's almost too much to bear.
My thoughts are with his family at this very difficult time.

I'll always remember you for that Sick Of It All/Good Riddance video you never sent me and for your keen grasp of complex mathematical equations.
Gone, but not forgotten.

wide base of support.
calves with at least 1 horse power.
