I was very upset that after all these years, I couldn't get ahold of you.
I tried your defunct cell phone. I called your house phone and your answering machine was not receiving incoming calls. How frustrating. I had some job leads for you. But I also just wanted to talk to you, something I have enjoyed tremendously over the last 25 years or so ago.
I finally drove past your house and saw a 'For Sale" sign, and figured you retired to the Cape.
I called the real estate agent to gather info.
It was just a week ago that I found out you died,
I was so angry that you left us.
I miss you, so much, my friend.
