  8. We’re friends since Jr. High. He was a grooms man in my first wedding. And a drummer in our band in the 60s. I also worked with him at Quaker oats. I really miss talking and seeing him. It hit me really hard. All my old band members are gone now. All 4 of us ran around together and us three worked at the Pine Inn restaurant in 1969. We had a lot of fun. And good memories. Forever in my thoughts. Very sorry for your loss.
