Had an old neighbor a long time ago named Joe. I used to visit with him a lot. He had been an aircraft mechanic in the Pacific during WWII - the kind that skipped around from island to island repairing downed aircraft to get them into flying condition to return to base to be fixed properly. I just loved listening to his stories. My wife & I went away for a weekend, and when we returned the neighbors from across the street told us he had committed suicide in the garage by shooting himself in the head with a .22 rifle. I really missed him, but he was really unhappy about getting old, incontinent, etc. I felt another piece of history had passed.
