The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsJust got word tonight, a person who I have known for 55 years passed today.
A buddy, in my HS Boy's Club - life took us in different directions. But managed to stay in touch, the last a party we had in June this year, bringing back what remained of the Boys Club. He was in tough shape then....I knew it without a word having to be spoken.
As I have shared with those that knew him, "A better man, I have not met".
Here's to you George-

(28,340 posts)Life is hard to figure out, sometimes. I mean, I am a smoker, drink enough, and am still in reasonably good health. My friend had none of my habits, but he had health issues since the mid-70's; back issues, mainly. Just a great guy in my life...glad to call him a friend.

Guess, he decided to check out early and not put his family thru the hospice experience. I hope I can take the same path out of here.

This is what I love about DU...a bunch of people who have souls and can relate to these moments that we all share individually.
