As an Albanian from Kosova I will give my condolence to the death Patriarch Pavel.
He seemed to be a lonely voice in the misled leaders of the serbian orthodox church

Couldn't you say something nice and leave it at that?
We have lost a great man who will be impossible to replace.
Rest in peace. After such a long hard life you are at peace now.
I know you will continue to look after us and guide us from heaven.
Let God have mercy on his soul. He lived in turbulent times, through two World Wars, a long Cold War and horrible wars and ethnic cleansings. He was born when crowned monarchs felt supreme, saw the rise and the fall of communism and nazism, outlived many dreams ... yet stood firmly behind his believes. He hoped that through Christ men could be absolved of his sins and really find peace and brotherhood. He shunned eccumenism when it became the fashion of the day, rejected modernization of an institution he believed to be eternal and unchangible. Was he right or wrong, we don't know. But we know that he never hesitated in his service to God and his nation the way he saw it proper. Let him rest in peace.
"Patriarch Pavle, when asked why he never obtained an automobile, he replies: "I will not purchase one until every Albanian and Serbian household in Kosovo and Metohija has an automobile.
...In 1989, the then Bishop Pavle was personally beaten by several Albanian youths in Kosovo. The extent of his injuries required nearly 3 months of hospitalization. However, in the spirit of Christian forgiveness, he refused to press charges."
Yes... it's true - Kosovo in 80's was very dangerous place for Serbs and orthodox church...
I am deeply saddened by the loss of our Patriarch Saint Pavle. He was a holy man that touched the lives of millions of fellow Serbs and non Serbs alike. I feel blessed to have been in his presence and to have kissed his hand.

@Adrian: the holly people on your list had pretty long lives. You even should multiply the physical years by large factors - they lived for their people.
Their destiny was to have more physical years than average person has. Probably for a good reason.
