It's hard to accept that my old friend is gone. It's been 64 years since we met, on our way to start life at Northeastern Univ. I wondered who is this guy with such a wonderful bizarre sense of humor. "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?.....the schmatti knows!" I will miss the schmatti but he has left me a lot of good memories.
