That started a collection and friendship that lasted until he passed. Many, many Sundays at his house just talking about everything from baseball to the weather to family. He was such a sweet man and a true gentleman, a real gem of a person. What started with a flat tire ended with hugs and I love you in the hospital a few days before he passed. So no, not family but someone I love like family. |
That is a great story. I knew you guys hung out but did not know how you met.
PS I got Sean to tell me about his great find in the sketchy motel, luckily he could not find a picture,LOL
