Prospero - Sad News

Hi All, this is a brief return as the bearer of sad news. Prospero, who graced these pages for so long with his wit, compassion and wisdom,passed away earlier this week after a brave and painful battle with cancer. I'm thankful to HA for being the portal for the close friendship that he and I enjoyed in the last few years, and I know that those of you who had dealings with him either on the boards or in person will remember him fondly. I've lost a very dear friend and I will miss him more than I can say.

I will also remember his friendship over the years. A nice guy. RIP Prospero

Very, very sad news. In the short period we overlapped here, he was always very kind.

Will raise a glass.

R.I.P.

Slainte.

Good man, gone too soon. R.I.P. Prospero.

OMG !! That is such sad news. He was a legend on the TS forums, especially here on HA. He gave me really good advice over the past 10 years or so. R.I.P. Prospero

Hopefully you are with the angels & maybe a few of them might be hung. :sadcry

Very sad news

I had the pleasure of a good friendship with Richard

He was a kind, generous, good man and I , and many others, will miss his wisdom and advice a great deal

RIP

Thanks for the update Robert Louis.
Prospero and I talked when he first found out - and a few times since. Although I never got a chance to meet him, as a moderator on this board (and before) I respected and really liked him a lot, and it's a shame were never able to get together for that drink we'd promised (I'm still holding you to a drink up North, RL - and we'll have a toast to Prospero).

As long time moderator to the board, I think a permanent post on Fallen Angels & Lost Devils is in order.

RIP - and thank you for everything.

I had the pleasure of receiving personal messages from him "time to time" offering advice and asking me of my adventures with certain girls, I felt I knew him although never meeting him, sad news indeed and condolences to his family......RIP old chap.

Rip.

Rest in peace.

I knew him in person and met him - very nice and intelligent man.

I was wondering why I haven't seen a post from Prospero for the past few weeks.
Great guy, enjoyed his comments and quick wit!
RIP

So sorry to hear R.I.P.

Very sad news

Very sadly missed - a free and liberal spirit

Damn...R.I.P. mate

He always dealt with everything with sensitivity and wit.
he is sorely missed. my condolences to his loved ones and friends

R.I.P to the legend that is and was Prospero

I’m so very sorry, Robert, that you lost a dear friend. My heartfelt sympathies to all readers who knew Prospero and enjoyed his wit, his insight and his kind yet just moderation. I never met Prospero, but he wrote in such a way that I feel I knew and loved him. I sadly felt his absence in these boards when he left. Now I mourn his loss anew, and with a deeper sadness.

Prospero invited me for lunch in notting hill , then he visited me in the flat I rented back in 2011 on Earls Court, then I met him again with RedVex in Westmister
he promissed me to help me getting phone numbers to rent a cheaper flat, and after couple of weeks he delivered, he was always interested in helping and always a gentleman

R.I.P. Prospero

...deepest sympathies to all his family and friends
....always enjoyed his posts....the man was a class act all the way

RIP Prospero

P.S. There's a Prospero on FlyerTalk forums (Aviation forum), pretty legendary member there too and a moderator. I always assumed they're the same person as they had similarities including living in London. The other Prospero is online on FlyerTalk right now, so they're not the same person.

Sad news.

The knowledge he imparted on this forum is still in use today, despite him not being on here for a while.

RIP

Sad news indeed. Bright guy with a keen wit and arguably one of the best screen names on HA. Always had something to say that was worth listening to.

RIP Prospero

Now my charms are all o'erthrown,
And what strength I have's mine own,
Which is most faint: now, 'tis true,
I must be here confined by you,
Or sent to Naples. Let me not,
Since I have my dukedom got
And pardon'd the deceiver, dwell
In this bare island by your spell;
But release me from my bands
With the help of your good hands:
Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill, or else my project fails,
Which was to please. Now I want
Spirits to enforce, art to enchant,
And my ending is despair,
Unless I be relieved by prayer,
Which pierces so that it assaults
Mercy itself and frees all faults.
As you from crimes would pardon'd be,
Let your indulgence set me free.

- Prospero's epilogue from The Tempest - W. Shakespeare

Rest in peace.

Good man, RIP Prospero..

Very sad to hear this news. RIP Prospero and deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.

Sad news indeed. R.I.P.

Had our differences but the loss is felt. Rest In Peace.

Bless him, had the pleasure of his Company last Summer ,such a gentle and genuine man full of compassion and blessed with a keen intelligence .Very sad to hear the news of such an early death .My thoughts are with his close friends and family .i will miss you and your HAT xx R.I.P

I learned a lot from him by reading his posts...he will be remembered.

Am sorry to hear of Prospero's passing. My sympathies to all his friends and loved ones.
Cancer... YOU SUCK!

Damn. Prospero was a good one. You'll be missed!

#poursoneout

I started off as a member of Prospero's Yahoo UK Transgendered reviews group back in 2007. With the limitations of the format and frustration with the lack of reviews being posted he urged migration to this place so I followed suit with many others and joined HA.

His genuine enthusiasm and love for t-girls always shone through and when I became a moderator he was supportive and guided me along whilst I found my feet.

As a prolific poster his myriad avatar choices were intriguing and the Heath Robinson drawing below is one he used himself and I post it by way of a tribute to the man - a doff of the cap if you will.

Amen to that, brother.

This was unexpected. My condolences to his family and friends. This board won't be the same.

R.i.p

Sad news ...

I'll look forward to that drink, Steven. There will be a memorial service for Prospero which I plan to attend. And while you'll understand that it wouldn't be appropriate to be open about his involvement here, I'll be proud to take everyone's good wishes with me.

I only joined as he left these forums but his stature shone through with his writing for all to see. Sorry I never had the chance to know him better. RIP Prospero.
