This is from Serge's Cousin, his eulogy.
On behalf of my family, alive and deceased, I would like to welcome you to a Mass in celebration of the life of my cousin, Serge Luciano Dasara. The night my cousin died, I emailed one of his close online friends who immediately responded ‘I loved the man even though I had never met him. Not the man/woman love but the soul kind that touches deep in your being.” It appears that Serge had that ‘soul kind” of love with dozens of people. Other friends remarked “I am just sick today knowing he is not with us.” “I feel crushed. The shock of Serge’s passing is worse than when my own family members passed away.” “I am heartbroken.” “Dammit I’m really going to miss him.” ‘I spoke to him before the surgery but I wish that I had that moment back, just to tell him how much his friendship had meant to me over the years.” One of his friends who lives in the Midwest is walking in support of an animal shelter on Serge’s behalf today. That same friend is donating a tablet in Serge’s honor to the rehab where Serge had stayed. In short, the outpouring of grief in the wake of Serge’s death has been heartwarming. You may wonder how one person could have had such profound, meaningful relationships with so many people. But then, all of you who are here today know why. Serge was an incredibly learned man with a zest for life. I can honestly say that I don’t know any other human being who had as many interests or careers as Serge has had. Take a look at his bookcase to give you an inkling of his intellectual pursuits. You can find a shelf on Buddhism, another on Judaism, another on Christianity. Other shelves reveal that he had read French and Japanese literature extensively. Don’t forget his computer science texts from his days as a grad student in that field. I could go on. He also had a deep fascination for scents, fountain pens,cigars and food. Lest you think this means he was a stuffy cold book worm, let me remind you that he spent some years as a foreman of railroad laborers, a Toyota salesman and as a hairdresser. Moreover, his beloved cats were the be all and end all of his life. In short, Serge’s passing marks a tremendous loss to many people who loved and admired his passion for life. Serge’s life was truly a journey through many worlds. Let us wish him peace in his afterlife. As I see him now, he is sitting in a soft recliner with Madame Anais on his lap. He is smoking a Havana cigar and reading Proust in French as he takes notes with a fabulous fountain pen using fuchsia ink. He is wearing one of his ten favorite colognes and a flawlessly pressed pink shirt made for him in Hong Kong. He is sipping on a …… and waiting for a serving of fettuccine carbonara. |

Those of us who knew him were very lucky. In all my years, there are not
many people like him. It is a beautiful eulogy "Gandalf" wrote in message ... On Wed, 2 May 2012 12:26:14 -0500, "Gramby" wrote: This is from Serge's Cousin, his eulogy.
