He died of COVID at Christmastime. COVID and evil man slaughtering lying internet assholes and quite frankly stupidity. This is my friend Mike, I’ve been friends with him since 1977. He believed the lying scum anti-vax idiots of the loony right. This was despite his closest friends and several nurses telling him otherwise {both my sisters and my niece}. This was despite us almost losing my sister to COVID from before any vaccine was available. This was despite losing a mutual friend to COVID.
I’m really sad and really pissed at the same time. 2 weeks ago we had a nice memorial for him. Lots of people.
His family was dysfunctional and once his grandmother that raised him passed years ago, just really one cousin was in touch with him. But he was my brother. He was Uncle Mike to my two kids and our other friend’s two kids. He was at almost all of our Thanksgivings. He was at most of my friend’s Christmases. Most of my BBQs too. We gamed together forever. Went to Yankees Games together. My siblings also adopted him into our family.
So today, our friend and myself journeyed to Staten Island to bury his ashes with his grandmother’s. This was coordinated by his one cousin he had remained close to and her husband. Very good people.
I"m sorry that happened to your friend. It sucks man. It took much more people from my circle that were “plandemic” enthusiasts. It was particularly hard on us because we all felt like we somehow failed to get it through to them, it was like we all failed them somehow. I know its not the case but it doesn’t take the feeling away from us and their family,
