I just got a call that on May 2nd Lucas died suddenly of a heart attack. Lucas was the 27 year old son of my best friend from high school Chuck. Chuck & I ran around in a group of 5-6 guys all through high school, but of all of them Chuck was the one friend I've managed to keep in touch with throughout the years. He and his family have been out here to see us and we try to stop and see them whenever we go back home to Iowa. We surprised them by showing up at their daughter Dani's wedding sneaking in the church. I still remember the look on Dani's face when she came down the isle and saw us. Priceless. Chuck & I did some crazy stuff back in the old days. I could write a book. Anyway, I wish I could be there tomorrow for the funeral. Maybe we'll go out next weekend if they are up to it.
Rest in Peace Lucas.
