Thanks for the article "Richard, My brother, My friend".
Sad to say but most of us fail to realize the impact or influence others have on us till that person is gone. In your case you recognized the connection from the beginning and even through the difficult times thought of your friend.
I often think of those old gentlemen who taught me my work. I remember seeing them in the oilfield around my town, at church and ball games, etc.. How they influenced me without ever saying a word.
We would all do well to stop and meditate on our past and those who have played such roles in our lives whatever the role may have been.
Thanks again.
