Never too old!

I know that Egon's bills were a lot less. I believe he posted once that it was between $45,000.00 and 50,000. a year. Does anyone else remember any figures?

I vaguely recall the same...like around $1,000 per week (which would seem doable on many cruise lines).

Hi Dad, where are you now? Year Two since you undertook your Final voyage...

Your presence continues as inspiration. Love you always, miss you forever.

HI all!

Steve ~ lovely tribute to your Dad who you look a lot alike! Nice picture.

May you R.I.P. Egon. Our memories of you will never fade as long as this thread continues.

Steve, your dad is still remembered and missed by many.

You certainly do look alike. :-)

I have not and will not ever forget your father. He was my buddy from day one and had so much fun talking and teasing each other. Egon...hope they have the grandest piano wherever you are.

Thanks for the heads up Steve. The link works fine for me. I'll revisit the site when I get some free time.

Thanks to all of you have kept this thread alive! I just found it today and am looking forward to reading from the beginning and getting to know this amazing man. He obviously touched so many of you in a special way.

Steve,

I couldn't begin to count how many people I've told you father's story to. He really was an inspiration. So many of us have stated "I want to be just like Egon... when I grow up".

It's 4:00 am, and I've just finished reading this thread which I discovered two days ago.

What a touching and inspirational tale of a man whose last two years were full of adventure and the search for connection with others.

I'm so thankful I have read this.

Thanks, Egon, Steve, Yellowbird, and others.

Plane2port - It's wonderful that people are still finding and enjoying Egon's story. I had the pleasure of posting Egon's pictures from about post 800 onward. I never did get to meet him though.

Happy Valentines Day Steve! I often think of Egon and the good times we had on here and through e-mail. I believe he would have celebrated another birthday the beginning of this month, right? I am so thankful I go to "know" him.

I just found this thread and I am captivated!!! Just wanted to say how special it is, and how much I am enjoying it! Back to reading.....

jackdis · February 15, 2016

What a special man! Truly special, as seen by the love so many had for him! God bless!

CAC104 · February 15, 2016

I was so surprised when a new posting popped up on my saved threads. It is amazing after so long how people are still finding this wonderful saga to enjoy. Egon remains my role model for the future, and I hope to continue to cruise as long a he did. In Jan. I took a 10 night Caribbean cruise and am now looking for my next one to book,:D

I tried to visit his website today and received "Server Error":(

wmwmarmstrong · February 22, 2016

Someone from CC posted a link to this thread and I have been reading it all weekend. The closer I got to the last page my stomach started hurting because I knew it was coming to an end.

It's just so amazing what Egon was able to do in his later years! Now when I have an ache and a pain I am going to think about a great man who wouldn't allow pain, rain, cobblestones etc to keep him down!

Never knowing my Dad, I have to tell you Steve, you are so blessed to have a Dad like Egon in your life. I will think of him often and a big Thanks to all involved who helped to make this available to others.

May the Good Lord Bless all of you.

I just came across this thread. I only read the first postings (before deposits), but I so admire him and will look forward to reading this from time to time. I have dealt with elder care for four parents for 21 years. So I know a thing or two. I am looking to this thread for inspiration and will comment again when I am done. Unfortunately, I am in the throes of busyness, and cannot read it through, so it will take me a while. I am sure it will be a great read.

woodboat · April 30, 2016

Hi Ya'all ... amazing is it not? ... how the years cruise by.

Three years today since Dad's passing, and it brings me Peace and Joy to see that he continues to bring inspiration and motivation to readers here as he cruises the heavens.

Not sure how long Dad's website will remain active, however if you wish to know more about him, you will find it here: http://home.cablerocket.com/~egon/index.htm

All the Best to You. ~ Steve Landsberg

All best wishes to you, Steve. It must help your loss .. at least a little .. knowing that Egon remains in the thoughts of many of us after all this time. He is not forgotten.

luvcruzing · April 30, 2016

My friend and I still talk about your amazing dad.:)

yellowbird23 · April 30, 2016

Hi :)Steve! Sure is nice of you to drop in here. He has left an impression on my heart that will not diminish with time. Happy year...Pat

That is a terrific picture of Egon. He remains my role model for growing older!

Steve, I am late to the Cruise Critic boards, but I spent several evenings reading your father's posts. What a special man he must have been. May your memories bring comfort. His legacy of a positive and courageous attitude lives on through this thread. I am sure it has touched more people than have posted and will continue to do so. Thanks.
