Mara Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Thank you, Doane, for sharing this tidbit and maybe easing our pain a little. 1
Blue J Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Thank you for posting, zappafrank. Those are touching words, indeed. 1
Mr. JD Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Thanks for posting. Neil was such a classy person. It’s good to know he didn’t suffer to much. I’m sure he passed knowing how many people loved him. I hope I’m as fortunate. 1
Pags Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 I'm glad I stopped in long enough to read this. It gives some solace at time of great sadness and loss. 2

I have met him. Super nice guy Neil’s personality is such where he would never tell anyone he was in pain even if he was. It’s one of the many characteristics that make him such an admirable man. This isn’t to say he was or wasn’t in pain. He just despised the idea of anyone worrying about him. He never wanted to be a burden to anyone: (which is what makes cancer such a cruel fate, as it’s a disease that affects far too many in a horrible manner). I’m sure Neil hated that.

londonguy Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 When Gord Downie passed away there was a neurosurgeon on the CBC talking about Glioblastoma tumours and he said the only good thing about the grim prognosis is, at the end, there is no pain. 4
