Sorry to hear, Gene. Living a full life and dying at home is not a bad end, in my opinion. |

Sorry to hear, rest in peace.
It's never alright to see someone dead outside the funeral home, and for some that's even bad enough, but to see a lifeless body in a non-sterile surroundings, that's a burning impression in your mind.

That's horrible, sorry for your loss. I had a neighbor that we had to go in to find him near death, on the floor. He survived that episode, but died months later, in the hospital.

Well, I moved here 22 years ago, most all the neighbors are my age group....and so Bob was a car person, and passed on just over 2 years ago, his wife finally got her act together and sold the house 6 months ago, the buyer is a widower age 72........Chuck is ex.mil and worked at the base hospital, wife is a nurse also....Chuck called me, all upset at the discovery, so I called 911 and got the crews out, the mortuaries?? arrived in two white trucks to take him away....they cleaned up most of the mess in the bathroom.... Ernie was 8 years older than me, Coast Guard, Mekong, engine room water at 80f instead of 40f.....about roasted him alive.....tough old guy.....

Thanks for your support guys, the whole block is visiting and commenting....
we thinking of arranging a last meet over at Ernie's house, garage open and we set there and talk as per usual, for one last time..... probably bring out a bottle of Crown Royal....we have plenty of the shot glasses to go around.... |

Sorry to hear about your friend. As has been stated, sounds like he had a good run and didn't waste away in a hospital bed somewhere.

Found this video by chance on YT.
"Us dancing to Joe's favorite song again, Copperhead Road, after his funeral in the church parking lot, July 14, 2011. I got the full song this time We all love and miss you Joe Nowak." "This is the way we should send off all our loved one's, with their favorite song and celebrating their life!!!" |
