Patrick, you've given your friend a wonderful eulogy and given us something serious to think about. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
I have a high school friend like your friend Marvin; even though we live hundreds of miles apart, we see each other at least every year and message frequently. It lately occurred to us that we've known each other fifty plus years, and have made soft plans to see some things this year. Maybe go watch the Indy 500, or an NHRA drag race, maybe head to LV for some debauchery, even a road trip to watch the Union Pacific Big Boy roll coal across the plains.
Your message is a reminder to me that the talking stage needs to end now, and the planning and doing part needs to commence post-haste, before it's too late for one of us.
