A eulogy to celebrate the life and times of a dear friend - Swiss Banking



An untimely death, I'm sure he will be mourned by all.

God works in mysterious ways. Swiss Banking and I were sitting at Backo’s Pub just six months ago. We were having a few beers, which we did every Saturday afternoon together, talking about sports, politics and our lives. Then the subject of death came up.

As Swiss Banking normally did, he joked around about his own mortality. He said something that will stay in my mind for a long time. He said, you know what?, I probably won’t make it much longer. I’ve lived too much, too hard. The Team America World Police and their IRS will surely try to get me. Six months later, here we are, minus one. Swiss Banking gone from our lives suffocated by litigation. I still can’t believe he is gone.

I remember feeling so comfortable around him. I had never experienced that before with other friends. I felt like I could tell him anything, like he was the brother I never had. For the first time, there was a consistent figure in my life, which I could turn to for keeping my private affairs private.

To his family, Credit Suisse, ABN Amro, Bordier & Cie, and little Zurich Cantonal, I love you as if you were my own. In many ways you are. I want you to know that my family and I will be there for you in this difficult time. We will help ease the suffering that you are going through.

Swiss banking, I loved you. I'll miss you. Your family is in good hands. God bless.
