The brief time I knew him was extremely rewarding. He always welcomed me with a beer, and as ACWGF said, “he always had that shit-eating grin on his face” like we had just caught him doing something that he wasn’t supposed to be doing.
ACWGF also said that he liked to give her boyfriends a hard time. If he didn’t, that meant that he didn’t like them. I never really felt like he was giving me a hard time, but I always felt like he liked me. Now, I realize he was just saving it up.
His funeral was this morning, and today is my birthday. He finally succeeded in giving me a hard time. I only knew him a short time, but I know I’ll miss him dearly.
