Another 1 Bites The Dust

[RUFFIAN]

A LONG TIME DEAR FRIEND, WHO YOU KNOW AS CRIMINAL TYPE (Rankyn)
ONCE TOLD ME THAT IF THEY EVER HELD A MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR HIM, ---
THE SONG HE WANTED TO BE PLAYED WAS: ''ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST''

THE IRONY OF THIS NOW BELONGS IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE
AFTER JOHN HENRY LEAVING US THIS WEEK

CT HAD BEEN ILL SINCE NOVEMBER SPENDING MOST OF THE TIME
IN THE HOSPITAL UNTIL HIS FRAIL BODY COULD NO LONGER FIGHT ~
~ FINALLY GIVING IN TO RIDE THE TRAILS WITH JOHN HENRY

A QUIET GENTLE MAN, FAIRLY INTROSPECTIVE, WHOSE JOURNEY
THRU LIFE TRAVELLED MANY DIVERSIFIED PATHWAYS

A HORSE WRANGLER TRAIL GUIDE, RODEO RIDER, SECURITY GUARD,
SHERIFF DEPUTY, CASINO DEALER, CAB & TRUCK DRIVER,
AUTO MECHANIC AND MORE

HIS HEROS WERE MR SPOCK, DR WHO, ARAGORN & GANDALF

A MAN WHOSE WALLET WAS OFTEN EMPTY BUT HIS HEART WAS FULL
AND WILLING TO SHARE WHATEVER HE HAD

HOW DID HE CHOOSE THE NAME CRIMINAL TYPE?

MANY YEARS AGO WHILE VISITING MY HOME, THE RACES WERE ON TV
AS THE POST PARADE PROGRESSED, HE IMMEDIATELY CHOSE HIS
WINNER ===> 'CRIMINAL TYPE' ~ WHO THEN WENT ON TO HOTY

I THINK HIS CHOICE WAS BASED UPON HIS PAST EXPERIENCE AS
A SHERIFF DEPUTY & SECURITY GUARD

GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
HAPPY TRAILS MY FRIEND
