I don't think there'd be any other way he would have wanted to go. I thank God it was swift and painless. I also thank God for all of you who were there to help in so many ways. May God bless all of you and I pray many more trekking adventures for you in the days and years ahead!

Don't know why when I read my e-mails everyday and only today I notice your mail coming in regarding the tragic trekking event. It's really heart-breaking to be at the site when your good friend closed his eyes right at the time you fellows were around. It's so saddening that after effort were rendered tirelessly by your team-mates and you, Bernard could not be brought back to life.It's heartening to have the members of Bomba from Sri Manjung to lend a valuable hand in bringing Bernard's body down from the trek. My deepest condolence to you and Bernard Lee's family for the immense loss. We humans will sigh: Life is so unpredictable. While we try to live a little bit longer on earth, health care must not be ignored. God bless. <br />Regards from Alan Kok, KL.Alan Kokhttp://alancykok.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925927201512689182.post-47157092283120440122014-02-18T17:23:00.913+08:002014-02-18T17:23:00.913+08:00Thank you for the vivid description of the ill fat...Thank you for the vivid description of the ill fated day when Bernard left us so suddenly. I first read the tragic news in the paper but did not realize it's Bernard until I heard from a trekker friend during a CNY trekkers gathering last Saturday. It was real shocking and I just could not believe it. I first met Bernard during our hike about about 2 years to Mt Rinjani, Lombok; that was his second attempt as he told me. He did not make it to the summit due to the unexpected eruption. I admire his strong determination and he had inspired me to reach the top followed by my subsequent trips to other mountains. We met again during our local trekking and gave him a lift back to his relative's home in Kelana Jaya. Bernard, R.I.P. You will be dearly missed by all your friends.<br />P K Chan/18th Feb, 2014pkchanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520023421726245865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925927201512689182.post-67212445637781102402014-02-15T11:11:28.014+08:002014-02-15T11:11:28.014+08:00RIP Dearest Uncle Bernard.

He was happy and jovial descending alongside me telling me stories of his adventures.He also helped to take some pictures of me wth my iphone. He revealed his age to me and when I complimented him of his youthful look, he was so happy and took his cap off to show me his grey hairs. He said there was no secret recipe to his good skin complexion though his friends have kept asking him. Till now I still find it difficult to hold up that seconds later he was rolling down right in front of me.To his family and loved ones, I would like to say that he passed on doing what he liked and enjoyed most and he did not suffer a bit and was not in pain. He was happy and in high spirit till the very end. May he RIP.Gary Yeaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925927201512689182.post-8385161051834214122014-02-12T20:20:41.759+08:002014-02-12T20:20:41.759+08:00RIP Dearest Uncle Bernard.
