Last month a longtime friend (since our teens) passed away. Gibby mirrored my life for the most part.. We were into cars, we were siding contractors, and family oriented.. We were part of a group that use to hang around "Gino's" a hamburger joint, we were into racing cars and pretty girls. There were about a dozen of us..... now we are three..


Three days ago, my boyhood best friend passed away. Paul and I grew up together since the age of 9.. So many growing up memories.. Flying model airplanes, working on cars, dating the same girls... just about everything.. including a partnership in the Siding business for a short period..

It seems like 75 years is an age for passing..


Today , my wife got word that her Uncle Frank has passed.. My wife has been sick for a week or so and was trying to get well enough to visit her uncle.. It didn't work out that way..



Just reminding everyone to recall the memories while we can share them... before it is to late.. It is so easy to get caught up in this life that we forget what is important..
