amazing how some people go, Tela
Especially some these older gents
in 1980 i worked with a really good old bud
In the sharpening shop
Ya know at present his name escapes me
Damn!
But I have picture of him
Anyway he was a good 70+ years old
Married a long time
His wife had passed about 3 years into my working with him.
So he was alone.
Anyway the man was there everyday cleaning saw blades/
Just the most peaceful wise insightful gent I knew
a really mellow guy
fought in the war
And heart of gold
I called him my good old bud
So this shop was family run and they knew him well
In the last couple days he was having a terrible cough
Unusual!
The man was never late, never sick and there everyday
Amazing
I was telling him he had to take some time off .
Get his daughter to take him to the doctor.
That morning I go to work.
There about an hour and he’s not there.
I tell the family.
Immediately they were concerned
& the one brother went to the house
Found him on the couch
A pan was on the stove with eggs ready to fry/
Apparently he went home the night before,
started supper , laid down on the couch
And passed on
Very peaceful,,,, mostly
Nice way to go
I keep my fingers crossed
I don’t get into some dragged out
Your shit effed up b.s
I just want to go
on a
anyway your Uncle Bobby had a great run
sad
but he's with more friends than
not
