[Oh Haha]

Ever have one of those moments?

The retired couple behind us have been good neighbors. Art and Nancy both retired from GM some years ago. Art was diagnosed with liver cancer this summerand has been in and out of the hospital.

Today, I was out in the back with the kids and Nancy came out to walk their dog.

Me: "Hi Nancy. How is Art doing?"

Nancy: "He's dead". "He died December 3."


Man, did I ever feel stupid.
I offered my condolences and told her to call if she needs anything.

My wife then talked to a couple of other neighbors who had no idea either that he had passed.

Apparently, he had strict instructions that no one outside his immediate family were to do anything at the time. No funeral, no anouncement, no nothin'.

RIP Art.
