A tribute to my friend.

[Balu]

He was my friend from back in my youth(ancient times it seems now)....
One of the --good-- tough guys that was never a bully.
We once argued seriously over a girl(that year later she became my first wife) but
we never came to blows.. I had no fear and neither did he..
Guy was as tough as nails and a Marine Corps veteran in the early 1970's.
Sad to only find out this morn of his death and funeral. I would have went..
If you click on the link and see his picture, imagine him 40 years younger and built like a tank,
strong as a bull and one helluva boxer.
Married his wife early 70's still married to her at his death.
I salute his service and note my great sadness upon learning of his recent passing...--Tyr

Having read your words and seen his photo, I had a very sad feelings...
My sincerest condolences, Robert.
