Aber es war schade um ihn, er konnte unglaubliche Dinge vollbringen, ich staunte, als er mir einmal seine Pläne und Entwürfe zeigte, seine Experimente, es war nur eine kurze Zeit, aber ich habe da wunderbare Dinge gesehen.

But it was a shame about him; he could accomplish incredible things. I was amazed when he once showed me his plans and designs, as well as his experiments. It was only for a short time, but I saw incredible things there.

oder Mark: But it was a shame about him;
'a pity for him' indicates that he was disadvantaged by something
'a shame about him' - means that others have been disadvantaged by his absence/removal, as is indicated by the rest of the sentence ?
