My best friend, drinking buddy and mate of 60 odd years has suddenly passed away today.

The news has knocked the stuffing out of me, so I won't be model making for a while.

Cheers.

Sorry to read about this Ron. Loosing a best buddy isn't easy. I'm sure memories of the good times may give a little relief. I'm sure he'll want that. We'll be here when you're ready.

Thanks for the nice posts boys.

They helped me no end.

I bid my mate a final goodbye this coming Tuesday, after which he will no doubt he will be heading for the nearest bar! Thinking about it, he's probably already there - Who knows?

Anyway, thank you once more for taking the time to post your very kind and wise thoughts...... :thumb2:

Cheers.

Chris. 1.30 pm. Tuesday.
Trouble is, I'm taking the camper to our local garage for a bit of work and a service on the Tuesday morning, and the bloke wants it off his yard the same day, so I can't have a 'Proper' drink at my mate's 'Do' to toast him on his way.......He won't like that one bit!

Thanks again all....

Back soon.
Ron

Hard times Ron. But treasure the memories

There are parts which are so memorable.

My best man flew into the ether a couple of years past.

Remarkably I found I was smiling & laughing at all the antics & fun we used to have.
All those things which happened & stored away came flooding back.

Same with my mother & father. The memories which I treasure are there. I have
their old clock which ,as my father did, regularly wind every week, I wake each
morning & hear it tick away a grand memory.

For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.
