Quasi I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. Always seems like the good ones go to soon.

My condolences, Quasi.

Forty-nine is too young, and it’s tragic that his children predeceased him. :frowning:

We did get to see him about an hour before he passed, and his last words to us (as always, before leaving) were, “I love y’all”.

Something we didn’t know until his memorial service was that Marty never met his father. His father lost his life in a house fire. A tragic life, to be sure, Johnny L A, but he had so much courage. Thanks for everyone’s condolences.

That’s very sweet.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

So very sorry for your loss Bill. (((hugs)))
