Speed and Elena in car accident

[Johan]

Pirates don't go to heaven, they go to Ios. Mr. Speed, your spirit will live on there forever. Didn't really get to know you but when we did get together, be it on Ios or on a booze cruise to Finland, I remember you as a friendly, fun loving, rocking, always smiling guy. You have broke on through to the other side, but your smile, it will linger forever. My deepest condolences go to your closest and dearest.

Hi evrybody,I got an answer from the radiostation today from Ian at 6,30 this morning but I just read it because I start working at 6.
He wrote: Hi! A realy tragic accident.
I could unfrotunantly not play your song that you wished this Saturay (as you for sure already noticed) because I didn´t worked then. But I can do it after 09.00 today. I hope it works.
Keep in touch!
/ Ian

Tjenare!
Mycket tragisk historia.
Tyvärr kunde jag inte spela din önskelåt i Lördags (som du säkert
märkte)
Eftersom att jag inte jobbade då. Men jag kan spela den idag efter 9.00 på
förmiddagen. Hoppas det fungerar ändå.
Vi höres!
/Ian

So maybe you hear it on the radiochannel today or tomwrrow if you have it on. I think he have quit working for today.
I have it on and I have answered Ian a little while ago that I want him to play it when he can.

I`m so sad to hear about the awful accident and the tragic outcome, and to realise that a very good friend to so many people suddenly is gone.

I didn`t get to know speed more than briefly like hej-hej and bla=bla on the beach, but I understand that he was a really really good friend and a creative chap.
As my brother died in a similar way 2 years ago, and was in the same age as speed, i can feel deeply how the loss is for all of you.

I missed the 9 o`clock candle minute yesterday because I didn`t hear about it until now, but in the carneval of London I`ll stop up at 9 tonight for a mr speed beer and a candle with him in my thoughts.

It's Max,

I finally stop just reading and thinking about speed. All my thoughts has been with Speed, Elena and the kids ever since.
We will all miss him and keep a part of him in each of our Pirate’s wounded heart but we’ll make it beat harder next year on Ios, that’s where and when we’ll find him every summer…
I agree with Kermit, let’s “start” to do some crazy stuff on Ios
And for Rock n’ Speed sake, let’s live life as if everyday was the last one, that’s how I remember our Swiss week end mood…
Elena, all our love and courage, stand strong you’ll make it with your family and all of us!

Feel you next year Speed, cheers!

This i an email that I received from CatWoman:

Hi Idefix
I'm Antonella (CatWoman website iospartyisland). I'm under shock for the tragic news about Mr Speed...It's terrible!
I've learned all this only the 12 of september, I was away. I feel myself indeed sad. Ido not finds words..I've sent one mail to Mrs Whiskey for to ask her if she could make my condolences to the Family's Speed Torbyorn, but I have not received nobody answer.Can I ask to you this courtesy to make it for me? Really thanks Idefix.
For me Mr Speed is a very good Boy, I prefer to speak about him in a present time.
All the oral divergences that we all have been in the website are all stupid things.

With friendship Antonella
