A friend of mine died last week.





He'd been round my house on Thursday night. Wednesday night for that matter as well. He talked more on Thursday evening than I'd ever heard him talk. He was animated and what he said was vivid.

He work up Friday morning vomiting. An ambulance was called. He lost consciousness and never regained it.

He was a quiet man. He was a gifted saxophonist. Solid, never showy. He had a deep and real faith in God. He liked people but he was smart enough about human nature that he didn't take everyone at face value. And he was a friend to many.

I shall miss Reuben
