Sorry for your loss. You're a lucky man to have had a friend like that. That kind of friendship is hard to come by.
I too have a friend from all the way back to jr. high. Been close friends for about 44 years now and would be crushed if something happened to him. That subject has come up from time to time and, put it this way, he's the ONLY person I would trust to take care of my dog if something happens.

Sorry to hear George.
I had a good friend from high school kill himself. He had everything going for him too: had a great girlfriend, graduated with honors from business school and had great friends. Would be great to go to a game and have a beer with him. Thanks for sharing his and your stories. |

Sorry for your loss....unfortunately at my age (nearly 73 now) I have lost far too many friends. Good friends that I grew up with. Learned too many bad things with (). Drank too much beer with, partied with, went to Vietnam with and, generally, owe much of my youth too. My Brother, My Sister....outlived them both. The older I get - the faster the bad news comes...... Here's to Derrek!! slàinte!!!

I'll tell you the Lamar Hunt story: Derrek, Gary and I were sitting in my seats, and at halftime out in the center of the field, Lamar was giving away one of those huge chairity checks that they make for PR pictures. The stadium announcer said: "Now Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt has a special presentation to make." So they do the check thing, take some pictures and come off the field. The fastest way back upstairs to the press box is on the stairs right below my seats. So Lamar comes over to the stairs, Derrek stands up and leans over the rail, he's about four feet away from Hunt, and says "Hey Lamar, I got a special presentation for YOU pal... BEND OVER!" Lamar's eyes got as big as hubcaps, and he RAN down the stairs and outta sight. We all just looked at Derrek and said...wow...you scared a Billionaire...
