Help
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Our friend Maurice passed away last week in Paris, the city he loved most.
Paris sera plus jamais comme avant.

That's very sad news, except that he passed away in Paris and not in Flint. We should all be grateful for that on his behalf.
Still. What an enormous loss, not only to us, but to the whole damned world. Godspeed, my friend.

I am at once terribly sorry to hear this news, but also very glad that it happened where it did
Rest in peace.

Good man.
He'll be missed.

My only complaint was that if they need to charge me $30 because they're robbing the duck to pay the boar they might as well give me a more substantial portion of flour, water, and bits of meat.

And just yesterday, I happened to look up this very Hemingway quote:
Young man. Older man. It doesn't really matter.
Wherever Maurice is, rest assured, Paris is still with him.
Quote
If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.
Young man. Older man. It doesn't really matter.
Wherever Maurice is, rest assured, Paris is still with him.

So sorry to hear this. Have been wondering why we hadn't heard from him lately. He seemed pretty despondent the last few posts. Anyone know the cause of his death?
