Got a some more crap news yesterday

Felt like I needed to do something with this and wasn't sure what, so I will share it here.
Found out yesterday that a dear friend passed away Sunday.
He set the bar for me as how I saw my other friends.

Before I met Sam friends were just people you hung out with or helped move.
But Sam was different. He took interest in your life.
He always knew what was going on and was always ready to talk or help.
He had a real no nonsense approach to life and was always ready to share his experience dealing with whatever I was going through.
When Sam was in your corner it was 24/7.
He made your life better just by being in it.

The world is a little darker today missing his very bright light.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.
I hate to be a sad sack and share something like
this but I just felt like I had to do something.
He will be dearly missed by many.

You have my sincerest and deepest condolences. It's always hard losing a friend. May you find strength, encouragement and peace, in carrying on not only his memory, but his great example of what it means to be a genuine friend, throughout your life.

"Rest in Peace, Sam. I wish we had a few million more like you in this world, and now, all your beautiful traits shall live on in your precious friend. Well done."

@Eddiesolds Ha ha ha ha.
No he went to prison because he was wild as all get out.
He had an issue with drinking and then driving and played the system for many years.
The way the law was, for a long time at least, if you defended yourself on your drinking and driving case
when you got the next one they couldn't hold it against you because you weren't properly represented.
He would still go to jail but they couldn't accumulate his offenses.
So he was a first offense drunk driver 15 times until a judge decided that was enough playing the system.
Gave him three years in a minimum security prison up north.
It did do him a world of good.
He got out and stopped drinking and drugs and got involved with the church real heavy.
I don't think he got faith from it as much as an outlet to focus all his energy.
He started spending way more time with his family.
Raised two great boys and sent them to collage and both were involved pretty heavy with the church as well.
Built them both nice cars.
He was a major car guy.
He really turned things around.
As extreme as it may sound he was still a great guy back then he just drank a lot and had some drug issues.
Oh and thank you. I did smile. :-)
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
@Dainbramadge Im sorry for the late reply. Gosh i miised this. He sounds pretty awespme to me. What a good man. I hope youre doing better today. Im happy that you smiled. Have a wonferful.day!🤗

I had a friend do that to his girlfriend on the phone.

@LordShadowfire I think you are right.
Anyone who would make a comment like they did probably thrives on the negative attention.
