Me & Bob Starner

My very best friend of 28+ years, Bob Starner, passed away this weekend losing his battle with cancer.  He took part of me with him.

I’m someone who doesn’t use the term “friend” lightly.  To be counted as a real friend, a person must pass the 2:00 AM test.  If you call or show up on a person’s doorstep at 2:00 AM needing help, knowing you can count on them, then [and only then] can they be counted as a true friend in my book.  Bob was all that to me and more.  Although we were physically separated by 1500 miles for the last 20 years of our lives, there was no person on this earth outside my wife and children that I loved more or felt closer to.  I have no words to express my sorrow.  Please keep Bob’s family in your prayers.

I’ve posted a photo album of some recent pictures of my dear friend here.
