RIP kgiessler: Saying goodbye to one of CelticsBlog's own

[Celtics18]

That's a nice gesture, Roy,

kgiessler sounds like a good man who touched lives in a positive way and left too soon. 

Rest in Peace.

Inspiring story.  RIP.

RIP.  Classy guy.  Very sad.  Makes me appreciate all of the good that I have going on in my life.  I'm sort of a negative thinker and it tends to way me down from time to time.

God bless his family!

I am very humbled by this.

We see little more than an ID and an avatar of most who contribute here, without much knowledge of who they are in "real life" or how they touch others' lives and affect their personal environment, but it was clear that Kurt was always a half-full guy, and a human being of character and integrity ... I don't remember him ever taking the negative route on anything, and yet almost always had something of import to say. Thanks for this story and background ... seems he was as humble as he was classy and kind, and he will be missed. RIP.

Rest in Peace.  Your life story has become an inspiration to many people who have never even met you.

Sometimes a story just makes you stop and appreciate what you have in life.

Rest in peace Kurt and thank you for making a difference with the time you had.

God Bless you and your family.
