Lost a dear friend last night.

[Raven]

I got word this morning that a dear friend of mine passed away last night. He was in his 70's and had been gravely ill for some time now so it's been expected.

He was truely the guru of the most horrible and wonderful jokes of all kinds, and could create them on the spot as more of a knee-jerk reaction rather than having to think them up.

He used to run a late-night amateur radio net called "The Fertilizer Net" and taught us all how to pile it higher and deeper.

I'm going to see if I can find a florist to make a very special bouquet of "Flours" (Gold Medal, Pillsbury, Martha White etc.) to send. He would dearly love that.

73's OM, 73's.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend, Raven. But, I'm glad that you have such wonderful memories to live on forever within your heart!!

Oh Raven, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. What a wonderful tribute you have planned for him though, I suspect he will tip his hat to you when he sees them.

The angels are laughing their heads off right now with your friend.

Raven- Losing someone is hard but, losing someone that made the world that found him laugh is a great loss!!The healing and joy of laughter can not be measured. He will always live on in your heart and memories and you will keep his spirit alive by always sharing your great humor. Much love and energy to you, Vicki

I'm so sorry for your loss...One of our best friends passed suddenly in January (on my husband's b'day), and we miss him terribly. Like you, we have wonderful memories, but we just can't believe he's gone.

As an ex-florist, I'm trying to figure out how one would do a "flour" bouquet. I'd be interested to hear what your designer comes up with.

Raven, I'm also so sorry for your loss and am also sending out my sympathy to you and your family - I must say, how great that you remember this man so beautifully. What a precious gift that is, for him and for you. Sandyj
