Karl Redstone

A Great Loss

I received this email on Sunday 10/01/06.

Good Citizen's of our most fair Barony,
    It is with such a heavy heart that I greet you this morning with the news that a 
short while ago I received a call from the site of Banner War, and that Dragon's
Laire and An Tir has lost a great friend. Last night at Banner War, HL Karl
Redstone fell ill and passed from us all. A senior constable, a ferocious 
fighter, and one of the kindest and gentlest of men, Karl will be so sorely
missed.
    Many times over the years, I have called on Karl to act as Constable in Charge
of an event, or to be there to help. The answer was always the same, "Aye Lass, 
I'll be there for ye." And he always was, displaying his great joy of life and
the SCA and using his amazing ability to walk into any situation de-escalating
the drama and treating calmly and fairly all with whom he dealt. 
Please remember as we all grapple to cope with this sudden loss to send thoughts
and prayers to his beloved wife HL Shaughnessy, as she deals with her even
greater loss.
Cedric and Brighid

I know this is a terrible loss to all of us. Any who are able, please support HL Shaughnessy in any way possible. Please add to this page if you have more information.
