In reply to the discussion: some history and tentative thinking about MFM-related questions [View all]R B Garr
(16,950 posts)I had just assumed that you two had met online, but I did see that you mentioned you had known him for 10 years so I figured you had been on this website that long. But then after looking at some of MFM's journal, I saw that he's only been here 5 years (almost to the day of his joining...), which is still a long time, but he seemed like he knew everyone so I thought he was here longer. Well, his background in radio explains a lot of his penchant for keeping the party going, so to speak. He did have a life-of-the-party persona here, so I can imagine in person it was even more charismatic.
Part of the reason I also thought you had met online was because it seemed like he was new to visiting your ranch and some of the ranch activities, and I thought you had started getting together more fairly recently because of his health concerns. It looked like you two had a lot of fun together! If I remember, there were also a lot of pictures and one set in particular of a Mexican restaurant you both went to, and it looked really good! I think you mentioned it in your OP (the Guadalajara Grill maybe?). I showed those pics to my SO to show him how good it looked.
I must say that you were such a good and loyal friend to him. It really came through and continues to come through just how much you both liked and admired each other. That says a lot about your character, and you both have been blessed to share your time together on this earth. Thanks again for this info. and for the updates. Take care of yourself!
