[AT] OT: I lost my best friend today

[Bill Brueck]

That's a touching testament, LeRoy.  Thank you for writing it and sharing it 
with us.

Makes me think of my own father, gone 12 years this fall.  Different story, 
of course, but common thread of forgone opportunities and a chasm that can 
never be breached in this life.  I think a lot about him whilst working on 
projects that once belonged to him.

Time moves on, life resumes a new normal.  And life is good.

God bless you on the journey.
