Dear Friends of Carlo Curley - and mine by association,
I have some devastating news of Carlo for you, so must ask you to sit down to read this.
Carlo had been bed-ridden for the past week. He was unable to stand. The ambulance service came to his home this afternoon to get him to hospital. They got him upright, he took two steps and fell on the floor. He died instantaneously, without pain or any suffering.
...
To have to be the bearer of these devastating tidings is a great burden for me, knowing how shocked you will all be to read this. I'm so sorry to have to break this news to you via email, but it's all I can do at present. I'm quite stunned, Carlo having departed this life only two hours ago.
He was one of my dearest friends in the world - as I know he was for all of you. I shall miss him dreadfully: his warmth, his wonderful humour, his simple love of living. I thank God that he brought such joy to so many people over 40 years through his immense and wonderful talent. I deem it a singular honour to have been a close friend of his for 20 years.
Blessings to you all. May the God of peace bring you that peace as you adjust by degrees to this terrible loss.
Yours in friendship,
Kenneth
