Sorry Fran ... We're the old guys now.

Ditto, Dave - we are the old guys.

Of the five guys that I played with in a country band for many years, only one, other than myself, is still alive. I still have many vivid dreams of them all when we were on stage for those many years.

Sorry for your loss,

Gary

So sorry for your losses, Fran ...
As has been said, we are at that age - it could really be ANY age, but as we get older it becomes more prevalent ...
Until we know what comes after this, this is the best we've got ... If only we could all remember this as we waddle through the petty BS - and it's ALL petty BS !!!
Unfortunately, I'm at the point that when we are out with a group of friends I can't help but wonder who might be missing the next time ...
Every day I don't see my name on the obits is a great day ...
Raise a glass to those who go before us and keep on keepin' on ...

Tough losing ol' friends. Sorry for your losses. Hang in there

My condolences, Fran

Sorry for your losses, Fran. August was a bad month for me. I know where you're at on this.

So very sorry Fran, my condolences.

Fran, Sorry to hear about your friends passing. It keeps us humble and grateful for the memories shared.

Sad news Fran, my condolences.
As already said above, many of us has became a member of the oldies group, and more often we see family, friends and schoolmates die.
We never knows who's the next to enter the very last ride, so let's enjoy life while we're here.
Lucky us, music is a great medicine for almost all occations.

Fran,
Sorry for your loss. I especially respect your "Reality Check" final sentence on your Post:
"Makes the recent emotional upset between friends on Synth Zone seem so little."
