I have a friend that was a plumber, electrician, HVAC tech and did appliance repairs that I would go help when he needed an extra hand on something. I didn't charge him anything as I would learn from him at the same time. I would hire him when there was something in these fields that I did not know how to do. A few years ago he stopped doing HVAC work. He had recently had a couple of health problems but I sure didn't expect this. I don't think he was that much older then I was. He was a really good guy and knew what he was doing. I guess I am getting older. Way too many deaths lately. I will miss him. --73.120.xx.xxx |

So sorry you lost your good friend/buddy. It's so hard when someone we think will always be there is just gone. I remember my mom (who was old and wasn't in the best of health) saying, "All my friends are dying". She was right. It happens. So sad, but keep the good memories, they last forever. --72.207.xx.xxx |

People with weak immune systems usually do not make it out the ICU when they get Covid 19. There are going to be many deaths in areas that have low vaccination rates. That is going to a great loss to those areas as many qualified people are not going to be there. The federal government has not decided to open the land border to the Us as concerned about low vaccination rates along with increases in Covid 19 cases. Russia has low vaccination rates where the Sputnik vaccine is the only vaccine available where people are reluctant to get vaccinated. Now hospitals are being overwhelmed where other procedures are being limited. Everyday here more and more are receiving first and second dose where there is positive news on case numbers taking a exponential drop in case numbers along with fewer and fewer deaths. Hopefully in a month phase four where most restrictions are going to lifted where only a face mask. --99.236.xxx.xxx |

It is sad when a friend passes, especially when it is unexpected. I can't believe how many of my classmates have died. My husband is 4 years older than I am and not nearly as many of his classmates have died. Who can know?

Thank you everyone for the kind words. This man would appreciate it.
He had recently had a valve put in his heart and it got infected. They put him on antibiotics and he started to fill better. Then he had a pacemaker put in and things went down hill apparently. He ended up in a coma and then rushed to Nashville for open heart surgery but they said that he would not survive the surgery and the family decided to take him off of life support as he would not want to live as a vegetable.

Sorry for your sadness. He will be there to help you if you ask him. My Dad passed in 1990 and eventually I had to take over the 20 units as mom and his friend couldn't make it work. So I knew very little about contruction, electricity, plumbing etc. I would go into one of the buildings and start looking at the problem and all of a sudden I would get a nice full color picture in my head as to what the solution was and how to do it. Dad was very handy. True, I got some books, but there was that sudden vision of the procedure. Also he saved my life once by telling me to get inside and a tree came down seconds later. Your friend can help you in an instant now. He is pain free. Go to his funeral if he has one. We go to our funerals so he will be there. Women like to see a lot of flowers. Men like a lot of cars going to the cemetery. He may come to see you as you fall asleep one night. He has three days to decide if he is going to step into the light and ascend or remain as a shadow person and reincarnate quickly. --108.24.xx.xx |

6x, sorry for your loss. I have a friend like that who taught me many things and I would hire him as much as I could. He's still here but in poor health and struggles to get through a day. He had to move away so family could take care of him, but every time I have a question he is a text away.
I hope you learned a lot. And he will be with you as you go around and fix things, take comfort in that.

I have had to say goodbye to one great friend two years ago. He was four years older than me and healthy as an ox.
He was in his kitchen making coffee in the morning and talking to his twenty something son. He dropped dead right there from an aneurism. He was so well known and respected in his community that the squad bagged him and performed CPR all the way to the hospital because no one on the squad wanted to make the call.
Six, the loss hurts I thought my first wife's passing was tough but losing such a great friend as Bruce still hurts. Time helps. Remember the fun stuff.
Be tough Six. Life demands it. Now you're in my thoughts and hopes of your adjusting and enduring for this loss. Jim.

6x6 my condolences as well.
The post above about getting a 'touchstone ' toll is a great memory to have.
We have 'Carl'. When my better half and I started our path many years ago, he was retired from the Bell System and was always a great source and cheerleader for us (unlike most family and friends)
He gave us his appliance dolly almost 40 years ago...and not long aftet. he passed suddenly and we say a prayer of thanks every time we see it or use it.
God bless the Carls of the world

I'm sorry you lost your friend. When someone passes, everyone immediately thinks about the spouse, parents, children. But, there are many others who were close to the person who also grieve but don't get the "attention".
One of my high school friends passed recently and when I sat thinking about her, after the initial sadness, so many memories I had forgotten came back. It made me happy to remember the great times we had, so many of which I hadn't thought about in many years. --72.70.xxx.xxx |
