Were those all in December?

No, I misinterpreted the subject of the thread...all gone!

Time for a bit of supper in town...

The one that matters most to me, my good friend & mentor:

He told me Korean War stories that... left a mark, for many reasons.
We drank a few Sunday morning beers when nobody was looking and always laughed a lot.
I saw him do a back-flip off a rope swing into a shallow river while smoking a cigarello, at the age of 80.

He was amazing.

Jean Stapleton.

She died in 2013, but in May, not December.

 

[Boink]

Oh, right... that was some months back.
