Bruce you are right. You run into somebody on campus at a game and it always comes up. Every time I see Strat there has always been someone who passed. Mike Patrick just recently. One of the SEC's finest punters and he's gone at age 54. That hurts.
Who do I run into at a friend's funeral last week? Richard Keys. I lived next door to him in McArthur back in the 70s and hadn't seen him in 8 to 10 years.
I used to make quiet fun of my father about the very same thing.
