Lost a really good friend of 34 years this morning. He gave a really good run of it at almost 92
He had no vice or I’ll towards anyone. Retired Barber and Sports Announcer here in Richmond.
I will miss talking Box Scores and his recaps of local sports and Stories of his Service in Korea.
Go see an old friend folks as they may be gone tomorrow……

My condolences. I know how tough it is.

Not far from finishing this bowl of C&D Sansepolcro 2025 (Small Batch) in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. I went outside to give Abner the Eager some attention, which he loved. Daisy the Feral Princess and Harry the Hairy were under the deck, and after a few minutes, got jealous and came out to jump on the deck for attention. Dunno where Tomato the Brave was, but he'd have joined them if he was nearby. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger came out to play and eat, and is roaming around the den. She always seems to know when the ferals are out.

This 1905 Pete Meer with custom poured stem by Fletch. Been smoking Various Flakes all day. Mainly Luxury Flake

Also yesterday I pulled another 18 hour run. Smoked most of the day, but here’s the sunrise and sunsets hours from home

My late mother loved getting sunrise and sunset pictures from the road.

Very good advice Paul, I still have a friend I’ve known for 60 years and I do not take him for granted.

Kendal No.7 in the Falcon meerschaum bowl, and some 2023 Leinenkugel Summer Shandy I found in the basement. Last night I worked until 11:45 and didn’t get an evening pipe, and I dreamed about Kendal No.7.

@PaulRVA Sorry for your loss. Good friends are too rare in this life. I'm sure he appreciated your friendship as much as you appreciated his.

Sorry to hear about this. Long term friendships are very personal and a loss has tremendous impact. May you find comfort in the memories.
