He left us 7 years ago today. He lived in a frame beach house in Carmet (just outside of Bodega Bay). His house was across the road from SchoolHouse Beach.
On December 9, 2013 his house caught on fire (old wiring on something) before dawn. He was home alone & ran out into his car & backed down his driveway, traveled about 2 houses, had a cardiac event & went into a ditch.
Dead on the scene.
Every year on this day some of us family & friends meet up & celebrate with lunch & stories. But not this year. Maybe we can all join together on his birthday in March.
An avid music fan he especially enjoyed the Dead. He had ticket stubs for about 500 shows, all kinds of memorabilia, & went on one of the European tours. Just after TXR opened Phil & Bobby were playing alone on the dining room floor. He laughed & said that he never thought he would se them play a supper club.
I have been listening to "Someday We Will Be Together" by Diana Ross & The Supremes. Besides all the romantic overtones it says the way I feel.

We talk, laugh & play in my dreams.
When he died he had just harvested a small indoor crop of OG Kush. The shit is good & I have about 1/2 oz. left. I keep it well & will smoke 1 of his joints.
Celebrate.
