I got a call from the wife of my friend of 40 years a few weeks ago. I was out to see them about 4 years ago and knew he wasn’t doing well.
When she called she told me he was slipping fast. He couldn’t even get on the phone.
Well today she called to tell me he had passed.
We met in June of 1981 when I got a new job with the Treasury Dept as a computer operator on the night shift. He was 1 of the senior operators and took me under his wing.
We hunted, fished, cut firewood and did a lot of shooting together. We moved our families together from Fresno, California to Martinsburg, WVa.
When he retired and moved back to Ogden, Utah I was there beside him. When I got remarried 6 years ago he was beside me.
The only gun I ever gave away was to him as a wedding present. A Marlin .357 lever action that he loved to shoot.
I’ve never had a better friend.
