Pretty much discounted as only a rumor but I prefer to believe it was true.
Makes no difference even if true as to how I feel about each man

may they rest in piece
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Don't matter enough to me to look up what was said or done.

I wasn't there and not affected. 

RIP fellas 🙏

Id like to think that given Kris' reputation, "I don't remember" translates to "It happened, but I'd prefer to not litigate it again so I'm going to play dumb."

Dude had a resume that would be a strong bid for the Most Interesting Man In the World.

My friend Eric died.  He's the one I've been visiting as often as I could the past year or so.  
I'm here helping out with things.  

It's so good that he's not struggling anymore, but it doesn't make his loss hurt any less.

He was a big Dodgers fan.  Wrestling (wrasslin') fan.  His college teams were UCLA, Oregon, and Boise St.  UCLA because that's where he went for his lifelong heart/liver issues.  Oregon I guess for the fun offenses.  Boise for the underdog factor.  

I knew him for 15 years and am his daughter's 'uncle.'  
They're 15 and 7.

Peace and healing to Eric's family--and to you. These always hit hard. Glad you were able to see him often.

That's really tough to hear and so sorry. There's our love for sports and football and then there's life and sometimes behind the scenes, some of the things we deal with feel overwhelming, unbearable and beyond what most people can understand or relate to. The part of getting older that I like the least is the amount of people we have to experience losing and when they are close and meaningful, it's almost like losing a limb.. We can still technically function in life, but we have to learn to do it with a missing part of us. Hope the coming period is bearable my man!

Thanks guys.  It's good that he's no longer struggling, but it still hurts to have him gone.  His wife got a full night's sleep last night, so that's progress.  Have another friend flying in tomorrow from MI to come fellowship.

I appreciate you guys.  Always, not just now.
