You are now flying with the angels my friend. I know that you will continue to watch over your family and friends and will have the best hockey seat in the house.
Dave had treated my kids and myself to a Pirates game several years ago and then to the KFC drive through afterwards. At no time did he ask for bread or biscuits yet the employee kept asking if he wanted bread. After the fourth time of Dave in a raised and agitated voice firmly stating "No bread !" and the kids and myself in tears with laughter, he said, "Fine! Gimme the bread"!. When we unpacked the food at house, there was no bread.
