I didn't know him, but I hope that by "sudden" it means that he did not suffer.
A wise man taught that the idea of the 'self' is an illusion. Nothing has any meaning without the context of everything else. This means that there really is no 'you' or 'me' ... there is only 'us'. So, even if I didn't know him, I have lost a part of myself. We all have.
Rest in peace, Captain. I shall raise a pint to you tonight. Fair winds and following seas!
