Today is my best friends birthday. He would have been 50. Sadly he died on the 7th of this month. (lemmy.world)

Here one with him with my son who will turn 21 in March. He was always a good uncle to my kids.

This was the last time we saw him in person. He had been living in a nursing home for last three years. With him is my middle son.

Though we couldn't visit often (we live so far away) I spoke on the phone with him almost everyday.

I will miss him, he was best friend a guy could ask for. Won't ever have other like him.

Thanks for posting this, friend. Friends are the family we choose, and it looks like you two were family.

Wish you a swift journey as your grief blooms into an even deeper appreciation for to is man who is your friend.

Yeah I called him my brother from another mother. We spent many pf family dinners together and his was always welcome in my moms home. And my younger brother roommate with him for couple of years when my brother was going through a divorce. He always welcome us into his home as well.

Sounds like one of the friendships that people really cherish. You must also be a friendly person to attract someone like him. Thank you for being that kind of friend.
