Last night around nine, my eldest cousin and near father figure, Leon passed on. He was with out a doubt one of the strongest men I ever knew. He survived some of the bloodiest engagements in Vietnam, breaking his neck, a not so pretty divorce, almost cutting his arm off and two bouts of cancer that should have done him in (Was working on a third one). The only man I know who shrugged off being dead enough to make the reaper leave him alone out of fear. Last night, he decided he was ready to just lay down and rest, so he did. Probably caught the reaper completely off guard.
I miss him. _________________ "Liven a dream, Oh you're on top. My mind is aching, oh it won't stop. That's how it happens, living life by the drop."- Life by the drop. Stevie ray Vaughan. |

My most heartfelt condolences. May he tell the reaper off, and safely swim the river styx to paradise. |

Thanks guys. I appreciate the wishes. He sometimes seemed larger than life. I know now that it was because he was living his life full throttle and to the fullest with no apologies.
I hooe I can reach that level one day. _________________ "Liven a dream, Oh you're on top. My mind is aching, oh it won't stop. That's how it happens, living life by the drop."- Life by the drop. Stevie ray Vaughan. |

I hope so. Gave him a last Hurrah. He went with me to the store to get more beer Friday night. (The small amount of his ashes I have to bury beside his friend on his farm) He went wedged between a set of boobs, he'd asked to see once. It was a fitting last ride. I'm sure he approved. _________________ "Liven a dream, Oh you're on top. My mind is aching, oh it won't stop. That's how it happens, living life by the drop."- Life by the drop.
