:(

Nik just informed me that our long time friend and neighbor, Jack, passed away on Sunday. I never had a real conversation with Jack, but we talked all the time. He liked to sit in his open doorway and watch the complex. He was wheelchair bound and on oxygen most days (because of his weight, I assume), so he stayed in the complex, but he was always watching. We liked to talk when we came and went, and he always had a smile. He even made us brownies when I was diagnosed. This may not sound like much, but I always appreciated his presence. He was such a sweet man, and I will always remember him.
