Yeah my friend was sick on and off a long time. Got to see him one last time last month when we met in Lake George and played the ponies all day long and talked. he had just moved back up here from Florida two months ago. I talked to him every day up to the end and I got to see him one last time so I have that peace that he didn't just go without me talking to him or seeing him. He loved the horses more than anything in the world and he'd want me to just be happy and nail a big one in his memory. He was the worst gambler who ever lived, never hit anything his whole life, but where he is he ain't losing any more photos!!!!
