The father of my friend C.

Ned, fine husband
magnificent father and friend,
died last night at the age of 76.
He leaves behind his wife of 58 years,
his daughter, who at 54 has never gone a week without speaking to him,
and a sea of friends and loved ones now bereft of his welcoming shore.
I will miss his stories, his rough Scottish brouge,
and the way I loved being just who I was
whenever I spent time with him.

Until we meet again, Ned
God Bless us for there's none like us.
