We have lost a good friend

Our good friend, John Nicoletti, succombed to cancer last week. We lived across the street from John and Carol when we lived in California in the 70s and spent many hours playing bridge, having dinner, and partying with them and others in the neighborhood. I told the Nicoletti family that when I think of John I remember his hearty laugh, his warm touch and kiss when meeting, and his beautiful head of white hair. His mass and celebration of life is this coming Friday, but we are not going to go. There were already too many things on the calendar. Bev and I are thinking we will wait a while and then plan a little road trip with her, Carol and me.
