So Long, Brenton Stevens

I will not miss 2012 a whit with all of the news I have received about family and friends passing this year.  I received word this evening that someone with whom I taught here in South Korea, a friend, has died in his home country of Canada.  

Brenton Stevens had taught here in Korea for more than a decade, and his input was invaluable to me when I first arrived in country.  Many a times we had feasted on his homemade pizza, shared beers, and told tales.  I can't even begin to imagine how his wife feels.

The online obituary is found here.

So long, Brenton.  You will be missed, but not forgotten.  I'm drinking a couple of beers in remembrance, man.
