BH is an interesting company, they keep everything close to the vest and there is always family fighting going on. Maybe you know this, if you didnt, you know it now. My best friend in BG, is terminal, with cancer. I cannot compose myself, any more than this.

David, sorry to hear about your friend. Prayers and best wishes to both of you. When you are young you lose a few to freak accidents but as you age more and more succumb to cancer or heart disease.

Had a couple stories with you in them, was Charlie, Steve A, Wayne and I on the dock.

Hang tight buddy Thank you. This one stings. This family is extremely close to me. I buried his cousin, my previous best friend at 26. Just unreal to me.

I buried his cousin at 27. My then, best friend.

I miss Jay 😢 I was just a kid when that happened, but he was a king to me. Let me catch waves at 1st Street and called other guys off.

I took an ass beating from Cappy, and big Lamar, just for being friends with him. They both came around, and accepted me. But it took a while. Wayne took me in. We've been super tight for 30 years. His girls didn't have the guts to tell me this today. You dId. I just hung up with Charlie C, who is as close to me as anyone. He gave me the rest of the story. I never got to close to anyone, after Jay. Not too close anyway. This is hard to hear. I love you, and I'm blessed to have you, after all these years.

God bless you buddy and your friend. I hope someday you can get this mess straightened out. Thank you sir. I can't fix my personal mess. That doesn't bother me. I have this handshake agreement with the authorities in the states. They don't fuck with me, and I keep my get-out-of-jail free card.. What I can't reconcile, and it wouldn't make a difference if I could, if I was there, is that my best friend, who replaced my best friend, is terminal. I have challenged God a thousand times to take me, instead of anyone else. I just don't get it. I'm gonna post some pics, if I can find them. Me and Wayne were almost unbeatable tarpon fishing in tournaments for a decade plus. Talking to his nephew today, his nephew says he can't get on a boat until March, at the earliest. Hard to believe.

I thought this should have its own thread, hope nobody minds. Thank you, and I was angry, to explain. That is not a good, nor credible excuse. Thank you Cad. I'm no less angry or sad this morning. I buried my best friend at like 26,27 years old. God gave me his cousin, who has been my best friend for 35 years. I spoke to hIs family yesterday, randomly, and none of them had the guts to say anything to me. One of our brothers here, my very close friend restlesss, had the guts to say something to me. He is terminal. He will not see 70. Hug and kiss your friends and families. And mean it, if you do. Of all the people that deserve to be in the cemetary, it should be me. Not Jay, nor Wayne.

Life is certainly not fair, I had to bury my brother and my dad before I turned 30. It hasn’t been any easier since. Burying Charlie’s wife, and now watching their boys grow up without a mom, is devastating as they are family to me. He called me every morning for 6 months straight after she lost her battle with cancer, and that invitation is open to you as well - although I’m probably not the best person to call for this stuff 🤪 Always an open and honest ear though, you know that.

Your losses are much more devastating than mine. You know that's why I love you so much. At least one of the reasons. I wasn't there for you. Not that you needed it. Guess who I called in the middle of the night? Last night? Charlie. God brought me you, in trade. Kiss your wife and mom, for me, please. I will call you later on messenger.

I know you want words of comfort right now.. All I can say after 67 years is folks die all the time. All over the World. 9 people die every 2 seconds... Don't watch your own clock. Dust in the wind. That's all we are. in 100 years, your name will never be spoken again.

So sorry for you David and for restless. I’ve lost two best friends during my time and it makes one wonder. It’s gut wrenching to try and compose something meaningful. I wish your friend a comfortable going and his family and friends a peace. Sometimes a quick exit is better for the person suffering. Peace and prayers for you guys and your suffering friend.
