Oh, Chico, my dear friend, how can you be gone? I had so wanted to see you before either of us died. While we lived our separate lives after college in Oneonta, we remained friends. The pandemic got in the way. Our time at Oneonta is a high point in my life. Being your roommate, along with Clyde and Murph, we had good times. And we consumed mucho beer…budweiser, of course. The Royal was the hangout. Bumper to bumper people. You were such a kind soul, Chico. Much nicer person than I was. And to be in your wedding party was such a joy. I’d never been to a wedding where people applauded after the ceremony. Who knew? An eye opener for me. I wish that you could have met my wife, Eileen. You would have approved, but you also would have questioned her sanity for marrying someone like me!!! And she would have like you, too. In our lives, there are many people, but only a few capture our hearts…and you were one of those, Chico. We bonded quickly and understood each other, I believe. And our two years together were fine. When you hooked up with Ellen, I knew that was it for you two…and your lives together is proof. I hope that your children and grandchildren realize just how kind a soul you were. They were fortunate to have you in their lives. As was I. God speed, my dear friend, and rock on. If it’s at all possible, I do so hope that we meet again somewhere on the other side. My love and friendship forever, Chico. I am heartbroken…
