Updates and Life Events

At 4:00 AM, fighting insomnia and having now been in the hospital for 13 days, I thought it might be therapeutic for me to put down some random thoughts in case my dirt nap becomes a reality.

Life is fragile and unpredictable. I am too old to fear death. Years ago, I was required to take a customer service course. The ultimate assignment was to come up with our own personal mission statement. The best mission statements are concise and powerful. Mine has become Ecclesiastes 12:13. Ultimately, nothing else matters.

I would advise you to read and research your meds. I lost a lot of blood using the wrong painkillers that tend to thin your blood and can cause hemorrhage.
However, a faithful death, in harmony with the Creator is the best choice.
Anyway, so much for my rambling on. If anyone would like to volunteer to keep on contact with my wife, maybe they could send me their email so she can keep this site updated. The one privilege few get to see is their own obituary.

Never realized you were into the guitar. Been playing since I was 11. Tried the Chet Atkins finger picken with the backthumbing style for many yearsw. Lost it in my late 60s. Was into the Bluegrass scene for many many years. still do some church stuff but slowing down due to the nervevous fingers. A couple bourbons help. Enjoy your playing. Really into Tommy Emanuel, Joe Robinson, John Knowles. The flatpickers seem to think faster is better again and I cant stand anything that my hears cant keep up to hear what the hell they are even playing anymore. Take care and enjoy you playing.

I knew Donnie since elementary school.  He lived right around the corner from me.  He was very quiet and unassuming but a super nice person.  Condolences to his family.

I was so sad when I saw this.  My memories of Rex were from high school.  (I left Altoona shortly after graduation).  He was one of the most positive and cheerful guys I remember.  He was a loyal friend and just an all around great person!  His success was no surprise to me.  I look forward to seeing him again.

Steve and I played together in two different bands.  I loved his humor and he was a great drummer.  We kept in touch over the years.   Very sad at his passing

I always enjoyed my conversations with Ralph when we walked to Keith together.  He was very intelligent and a thoughtful person.  Always kind and with a great sense of humor. I will miss him.
