Welles fan passes...

[savehollywood]

This post is dedicated to an online friend with whom I've had many Welles discussions over the past year. His name was Roland Kappeler and he succombed to a cardiac infarct on November 21st.

Although he lived an ocean and many miles away from me, I still feel a great loss to the world for having lost him. He was a spirited, sweet man with great knowledge and enthusiasm for life. Although I never met him face to face, I will miss him and the conversations we had.

Here's hoping that Roland is now sharing a drink with Orson in the afterlife...

Darkness surrounds me,
rushing river, whispering wind,
I love to be alone and sing songs...

Darkness surrounds me,
forgotten people, forgotten world,
I love to be alone and sing songs...

I was saddened to learn of his sudden passing and I would also like to make a dedication to Roland. Although I too only knew him via email, and for only two weeks right before he passed away, he was one of the of the nicest and most generous aquaintence that I have met via the net. I offer my condolences to his family and hope too that he's now sharing a drink with Orson.
