We Love you, Dude. - Kim, Jason, Max & Emmy

Andre, you’re filled with so much love

Whenever we meet you’re quick with a hug

Always there when I’m in need

One of my dearest friends indeed

A master of tech, you are a true geek

Which you shared graciously with the Light Stalkers clique

You challenged our creative and technical grace

With colour, perspective, and negative space

You still poke fun that I hate the outside

You forgive me when I am preoccupied

You patiently help me with computer stuff

And make me laugh when things are tough

When I watch Monsters Inc., I think of you

And orange-flavoured chocolate, to which I say “ew”

The kids still refer to you as Deadpool

And all the dogs love you cuz you’re so calm and cool

Walks, photo shoots, and costume parties

Lunch dates and family dinners so hearty

I raise a glass of Chateauneuf du Pape

To one of my most favourite chaps

I’ll remember you in spring, when we go on our bikes

I’ll remember you in summer, when my backyard grows

I’ll remember you in autumn, on colourful mountain hikes

I’ll remember you in winter, by the fire as it snows

In a lifetime we will lay eyes on thousands of human beings, across rooms, on the streets, inside

buildings. In most cases, nothing will come of it. But I am eternally grateful something was formed by

our crossing paths. I cherish our friendship to the depths of my cold, dark heart.

We love you, dude.

Kim, Jason, Max & Emmy
