falcon, anything you have to say about your lost friend is worthy and valid.
do not trouble yourself to find the exact words for this situation, because there are none that can do the moment any justice. thought and feeling, companionship and love can never be fully expressed in mere words.
anything and everything you have to say will be considered a loving tribute to a man you hold dear to your hearts.
chin up 68th, you guys deserve some peace when this tragic event has been finalised, untill then do not worry yourselves to say the right or wrong things.
