It is difficult as we get older, some of those around us pass.


Cherish the memories and appreciate the time you were able to spend together.

One of my early mentors. Taught me guitar, mechanics, how to hold my liquor...I will miss him.

Funeral will be Tuesday, and burial in National Cemetery. That's the local veteran's burial grounds. He served in the Army during the Vietnam era. He was stateside because his older brother got selected first and shipped over (and earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart). Another great guy, still kicking. Having dinner with him and my aunt tomorrow night.
Two of my brothers and myself will be pallbearers. My cousin asked if I minded. I told her I would be honored, and offended if she didn't ask.
Thanks, guys, for all the words and support.
