Rest easy old friend, your work here is done and you will not be forgotten. Respect is earned, you earned it and then some. Never faltering on principle, holding yourself and others to a high standard.
You waged a war of wills with this dragon we name cancer and for many years against the odds you won small battles which to me seemed like huge victories, but you never stopped fighting, never rested against the villain. If I can summon up the strength to carry on such a valiant stand when the flames of the dragon flash before me, it will be in no small way because you put a name and a face to courage.
Rest easy, Dear friend.
