Mistake Not... |
I am sad for your and your friends at your loss. I will hold you in my prayers. ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

Sorry for your loss. It sounds like he had a full life. Sad that he left the way he did, but I understand it. Prayers for you and your friends. The Working Police..... "We the willing, led by the unknown, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful." | |||

It's all part of the adventure... |
So very, very sorry for the loss of your friend and mentor. I understand his choice, though it makes me deeply sad. At any rate, he will be fondly remembered by you and the “church crew” of course, but also now by those of us who were privileged to read your memories of him. He sounds like a heck of a guy.

I KNOW EXACTLY, HOW YOU FEEL! In November a similar person in our life was called home. We think of and miss him daily. We watch as his family members dismantle his life and treat his possessions with no true understanding as to what it meant to him. It breaks our hearts. My deepest sympathies. _________________________ | |||

Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
Thankfully that was not the case here. I had not met his family before Sunday, but they all seemed to be very nice, caring people who came together to help in a very difficult situation. It was nice to see that he had others who cared about him around him, and I was happy for the chance to meet them. | |||

So sorry for the loss of your friend. Until we walk in the shoes of others we will never know what demons they were actually living with. ...drill sgt. | |||

Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing I can relate to the story, being in that age group and having some of my mentors moving on also. The best we can do is remember them as you did in your post, and to pay it forward in honor of their memory. RC | |||

Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated |
Thanks for sharing your story about your friend. As we all age life takes its toll on us in different ways. Sorry you lost a good friend. They are hard to come by. "Someday I hope to be half the man my bird-dog thinks I am." looking forward to 4 years of TRUMP! | |||
