SLIPAPEE from the board.
My best friend since we were 11 years was just diagnosed with malignant brain cancer.
just got the news about 10 minutes ago.
im freaking out. we grew up together.did everything together from baseball to riding dirt bikes to double dating. i have known him 1969.
we played little league together. tried out for the NY Mets together.
he threw 96 mph and couldnt hit the side of a barn.
A crazy type of guy who always got in trouble and
always got caught.He use to always coming racing with me. He is a awesome mechanic and great racer as well.
he has a 7 year old son. says he doesnt have much longer.
please say a prayer for him.
we go back a real long way and i feel sick.thanks

So sorry to hear this,sometime's word's cannot express the feeling's a person has for someone, be it friend's or family member's,,lost my mother two day's after chrismas, the holiday's will never be the same, give him my heart felt condolences, and make his time here the best you can.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

going to take him out for his double entree of chicken marsala and chicken francese.
large order of calamari and 2 soups of the day with a pitcher or 4 of beer.
the dude can eat. 6'7 and 295 lbs.
when we were in our prime weight lifting days back in 1982- 1988 you had to see all the food we use to order and be on our table at one time.
he cracked me up one day when he told the waiter to bring him a mug of beer every 5 minutes until he passes out then one every 10 minutes from then on. you had to see the waiters face. those were the days.. damn i'm going to miss him. i love him like my brother. this really sucks. it just aint fair, why???

It is rough, but you will get through it. Lost my brother-in-law at 26 from cancer (24 years ago) and he was one of my best friends. Try to spend some time with him now. Memories last forever.
