Sincere regrets and condolences, John:

The loss of a friend or loved one will never be easy... and at our age(s) we tend to see our friends at funerals and weddings. I have no doubt that your kindness and friendship made Mike's journey along the end of the trail a little more bearable.

I would guess there is a storeroom filled with musical instruments for him to make a selection. May he rest in peace. Thanks for letting us know.
