Years and years ago (almost 20), I knew of this guy. I didn't know him personally, but I had seen him and knew what some of my friends had to say about him. Based on this, I had a certain amount of disdain for this man, and little respect.

Right now I am holding back tears as I have just found out his medical condition, which had gone into remission, has brought him all to close to the end.

About 11 years ago the man I refer to came to work at the company I work for, and not that long after I started working here. It wasn't long before I started to get to know him. Not so long after that, I began to respect him. Before I knew it, I was calling him 'my friend', when talking to other people.

He is a good man. He is a good friend. I pray that this is not his time.

I would appreciate any thoughts or prayers my Pixies family could send for him and his family.

Thank you.
