Osprey - George Bergin
George Bergin, known on this forum as Osprey passed away in his sleep early this morning. Many La Ribera friends visited in the last week to say
goodbye. He went downhill very fast over the last 3 weeks. George was comfortable & passed quietly in his sleep. Life changed drastically in
early January when Lynda, his wife unexpectedly passed away. George and Lynda loved their life in the Baja, first camping, fishing and then in the mid
90's settling in their casa in La Ribera. George and Lynda will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear this, he is one of the Nomads that I looked forward to meeting someday.
George had such a talent for creating vivid images with an economy of words, and that talent will be missed!

Blessed to have known George, sad to lose him.
Rest In Peace, amigo.
I hope he will write stories about heaven that I can enjoy once I am there, too.

We had a good email exchange a couple of weeks ago. He was such a cool guy. I’ve got a three ring binder with most of his stories that he posted
here as well as a bunch he’d send me asking for feed back. I told him I’d be reading them under my favorite salt pine in BdeLA last weekend. He
got a kick out of that visual. He lived a good, long life! We should all be so lucky.

I'm so glad he posted a few stories here before he passed away.
Somehow I like to think it helped him, gave him a sense of purpose, and a feeling that people cared for him.
I think writing meant a lot to him.

The world will be a lesser place without him. I too have a binder of his work, I love reading it.
The world needs more people like him.

I already miss him dearly! Sipping cold brew in his honor at the moment. Our last exchange from July 16 which I’ll never delete! I love you, man!
