So many friends that have left us that I wished I had met in person. I’m glad I made the over two hour drive from West Virginia to go and meet him at Shelly’s Back Room when he was in Washington DC, and extended the invite. I almost didn’t go because I was just tired from a long work week. Like Kirk, I often see his post on here, or something to do with him on FB and it takes me back. Funny thing was, until I met him, I used to think he was so brash and almost obnoxious, even though l like him. When I met him, he was so sincere, genuine, and quiet (but still funny). Glad I got to know that side of him. Poor guy did have a lot of stress from his job that he kept bottled up inside.
