The day began with the news that a really close friend had lost his 38 year old son. The first thought was that it was a heart attack. It's all the worse, given that he leaves behind a 2 month old son. It's unsure how the funeral, burial, and grieving process will work given that it occurred in California.
The late evening brought news of the passing of the proprietor of the porker plantation we've patronized for 13 years. He'd been in a wheelchair all that time, due to a car accident, but would still be out & about anytime he felt remotely up to it. The past few visits had found him bedridden, but he was out in the truck again for our last visit in December. A true gentleman, and sportsman, was Mr. Williams. I'll tip the Forstdiensthut, and a glass, to his memory this evening.
Hug those close to you, & never pass an opportunity to let people know what they mean to you. None of this are getting out of this life alive.

Sorry for your losses, Joe. I guess we are all just a phone call away from our knees.

Sorry to hear this Joe. Was the young guy COVID-19 related?

It's very sad that loved ones that pass would not have a celebration of life or a memorial the deserve due to this pandemic.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

Sorry to hear this Joe. Was the young guy COVID-19 related? No indication of it yet. He was in Southern CA.
