You've done it again, Richard. A beautifully written tribute to a departed friend and your shared past. And his poem lives up to your admiration.

Nice write-up/posting, Richard. I read and appreciated the obit, as well. I've always found it strange how we humans can have relationships that mean so much at the moment, and then we are still able to drift apart. You made the effort, so BRAVO!

Nice thoughts, Rich. I remember him from ancient days in A2. Sorry that you never reconnected. C’est la vie. This is the sad part about getting old. Live well.

Ah, it's bittersweet to reminisce about an old friend. I believe a friendship is precious, no matter whether it's for a year or for a lifetime. That was a thoughtful, concise obit. Hugs to you.

Lovely, sad memory. I have one like that too. A close friend who disappeared, must have died years ago. We shared so much!
