May his soul rest in peace. he used to be a good guy.

WTF?

Eugene was my best friend and I owe my life to him.
At a low-point in my life when I was down and out his family looked after me and he treated me like his brother. I would have most certainly be dead by now if he hadn't. 
We had a whole lot of experiences together. And adventures too. From the Jazz Cafe in Blantyre. To Countdown Promotions with the late Malumbo Nyirenda. To FM101, Rap & Ragga shows - school DJs.
My heart is heavy with grief and sadness. I loved him like a brother - we looked up to each other. I do feel a little loss that I never really kept in touch with him in Alabama (we only spoke a few years ago).
I would miss him. My life would never be the same again.

This seals the 'deal' Kesso. I agree with every statement here and you have just freshen good old memories - Good memories for me, because I dont think, you have any 'good' memories of that time. But next time, you should find a better way of expressing your grief than 'WTF'. Its just my opinion. I observed that you said the same after Vic's death. Is it because of PUPI, this time?

Most times, your expressions are very provocative.

RIP EUGENE

Gene Hill(Eugene Chipengule Phiri as we knew him then) was a good guy indeed and he will be greatly missed.I remember way back in 1986 when Malenga Chienda,Harvey Kansawa,late Indiratu Kamwana and myself were playing near the C I park in B-town,some bullies came up and threatened to beat us up just because according to them we were playing on their "turf" he came to the rescue and we walked away unscathed,great guy!

My sincere sympathies to his family and may his soul rest in peace!

Sorry for the loss mate i know how tough it can be when somebody who helped you to great heights passes on. For sure you should have been dead and Eugene was one character who wouldnt let you suffer. I used to take him as "Ma Yo" aku BT when i used to saty in Lilongwe but had another side of him when i came to BT friendly guy but no nonsense as well, bully at times but what could one do when you want to have a mark left for others to notice.
I knew you as a pain in the ass, loud mouth (xept for the good english) but you were nothing but a horse, am not surprised when people moan about you boasting and all that if only they had been with you for sometime they wouldnt be "sissies" crying for mercy, one thing that has surprised me though is your sudden change of heart to a non believer i was once moved (at Phwezi) when you preached at the seventh day church but damn look at you now all different, anyway that is life we all have choices.

By the way "Bwanji ndikakutengele tiwili ta phunga ku kitchen chifukwa your friend chiswesi (another loud mouth) has already been spotted" Good times roll we can never go back.

RIP Eugene "we were born we will surely die"

I know some are affronted with WTF but i understand Abre on this one. We all have different ways of expressing our emotions but what matters is the tone used. I remember we lost a close friend yrs ago and my ex said 'Fcuken Hell.' when we heard the news but i wasnt offended. I do say 'damn!' most times but its harmless.

Too bad our words' intake are different so we tend to interprate as we like. Human Uniqueness, eh?!

Ironies heh!
And you were the first one to get surprised with Abre's response, damn.
