I am devastated to hear this. I had exchanged emails with him just a month or so ago and knew he was doing poorly. Despite me living in New Jersey and he in Texas, we hit it off immediately and kept in contact for the last 24 years. He and I "partnered" on a Koester bread lot back in 1999 - I took the Jesse Burkett and he took all the rest! 🤣 We "argued" constantly about the relative merits of our hometown teams - the Yankees and Rangers. He had a wickedly snarky sense of humor! He was also incredibly realistic about his condition and faced it bravely with tons of help from his wife.
RIP - mi amigo!
