I’m so sorry for your loss, **OW**. This weekend I was looking at Santarchy pictures from a few years back, remembering the fun we had with **kopek**. My gf always knew him as Yoder Santa. The last time we talked was in Oakmont/Verona a few months ago. We had plans to get together in Ligonier this year. We talked about our home lives and how lucky we each were to have found true love. > [@](#): > > Don’t it always seem to go > That you don’t know what you’ve got 'til it’s gone?
