Mikey
We will never know another embrace like his
women felt him without artifice
for men it was pure bonhomie
a radiant smile for everyone
Truly a man for all seasons
on the sea a Corsair
on land a Prince
his voice had the magic
of the pipe of Hamlin
He fought the hardest battle
and never turned his face
yes the tide has turned
but does not steal our memories
He sails a calmer Bay now
and has made his final trade
his life on earth with us
for eternal peace with God
In memory of Michael Calway-Jones
April 12, 1956 - January 17, 2011

What a powerful tribute; I wish I had known him. And I also note the very last line, before the dedication.
