In the past few weeks we had a death in the family and heard about the death of a very old friend.
Robby Far Guy's cousin and our Godson died from complications of diabetes, heart issues and kidney failure on July 5, 2025. He was 46 years old. He was the youngest of the paternal cousins. He had a bit of a different life style, so we have not seen him in a long time. The funeral is Friday...not sure who or if we will go...it depends on how we feel and if we think the risk of crowd germs is worth the exposure. Far Guy has 13 cousins on that side of his family...three have died...Jere in 1967, Steve in 2019 and now Robby in 2025. There are 15 Cousins total...that includes Far Guy and his sister Janice who died in 2022.
Our friend Dale died in Arizona he was 86 years old. Far Guy grew up with him. Dale had Parkinson's. He died on the 4th of July...it was no doubt a special day to him and it was time to close the show. We have appreciated his friendship and notes every Christmas. This year there was no note at Christmas. The end of an era. He wrote a book called Wooden Horses and Iron Men he sent Far Guy a copy because there is a photo of a very young Far Guy in the book.
Lastly a friend from long ago. Vonnie died July 1, 2025 she was 74. She was a steady girlfriend of one of Far Guys Cousins on his maternal side of the family. We had some really fun times together! Sadly she married someone else.
And so it goes...we are all in certain stages of death...some just closer than others.
