Description

Tonight, I was at the bedside of a dear friend whom I've known for 39 Years. I met him on my first duty station, USS Enterprise, CVAN 65. He passed away at 1630 hours in his sleep. His wife Willie (my ex); his older sister, Mary; our son, Josiah & his wife; my step-son Aaron & his wife; and various friends and other members were there. We told him that it was okay, that he could go and that we love him. He took his last breath and passed on. I know that he is at last at peace but it is still very hard. Phil, my friend, I wish you Fair Winds and Calm Seas and the stars to guide you. As he was an avid bicyclist and he has participate in events like this, I thought it would be appropriate to dedicate this shot of last year's Bridge Pedal in memory

This is a sad memoriam, but so nicely written and heartfelt.
