Here one with him with my son who will turn 21 in March. He was always a good uncle to my kids.
This was the last time we saw him in person. He had been living in a nursing home for last three years. With him is my middle son.
Though we couldn’t visit often (we live so far away) I spoke on the phone with him almost everyday.
I will miss him, he was best friend a guy could ask for. Won’t ever have other like him.
Sorry for your loss. He looks like a genuinely happy man. I don’t know if many of us could say the same.
Thank you, he was always laughing and joking. Some of my best jokes I learned from him. I mean his only downside was you couldn’t talk seriously with him, he find a way to laugh and joke. But that was the best part about my friend. No matter what when you were feeling down he find a way to lift you up. I love that man and will miss all the laughs we had. I will miss the crazy shit he would pull.
Sorry about your friend, OP. Can you give us one of his best jokes? Or one that you cherish? Or both? ;) I promise I’ll use it to help keep his spirit with us.
Guy is sitting on a porch and he sees his neighbor with a roll of chicken wire. Guy asked where he is going. Man says “going to catch some chickens, want to come?” The guy thought this was ridiculous and declined. But hour later neighbor returned with three chickens.
Next day neighbor is walking down the street with roll of ductape. Guy asked where he going. Neighbor replied “going to catch some ducks, what to come?” Again guy thought this was ridiculous and declined. But hour later he returned with three ducks.
So next day neighbor is passing by with a bit of pussy willow under his harm. Guy calls out, “Let me grab my hat.”
I like it! Thanks Fred’s Friend! I will retell this to my cow-orker now. … He chuckled and said “Ba-dum-tishhhh!”
Thanks it was his go too. He recite it at least once a year. He had others but I will keep a few for later use.
