He was an individual who had a distinctive way of impacting the lives of those whose paths he crossed.  It was his flare for spontaneous mischief, his twisted personality, and colorful ego that drew his friends to him. It was his love for poetry that bonded our friendship, thus creating "Oceanside Annonymous." He was his own person of uniqueness. And never allowed limiting boundaries stand in his way. He lived every second to the fullest, especially after he learned he was ill. It was as if he accepted the coming of death...the ending of time as he knew it, only to welcome what was to come...the comfort of healed body and mind, a free spirit and soul; forever living free of pain and sorrow. His passing reminded us of what we lost~ a true friend~ and made us look deep within ourselves. It was his passing that reminded us to be grateful of what we have...the friends and family around us who love us and care for us...to never, but never take their love for granted. We continue to miss him, and remember him in our expressions of a creative flow.
