We will miss you, Downtown

My co-worker was diagnosed with Lung cancer on Dec 2nd. Before that, he was fine. He had a cough but was the life of the party and I loved working under him when he was in charge. Always fair and always honest. He was one of the few that came to see Turkey Butt when she was born and I don’t think I will ever forget that. He was funny and always the perfect Catholic. He stood up for his family and that included all of our co-workers.
We found out today that he passed away last night at our hospital. I am sure he died with dignity and the privacy he deserved. He will be sorely missed around the hospital as he worked there for over 20 years and knew just about everyone. And everyone knew him. This is not a funeral I wanted to go to. I was hoping God would heal him this side of Heaven but I know that he is worshipping there right now and is not sorry for being there.
This is one of those times where I need to remind myself that we should be feeling bad for ourselves because we were the ones left behind and he is in the better place and not missing the pain and suffering and life here on this side.
So, go have a blast, Downtown! We will meet again and I will hopefully introduce you to Little Bit then. Have a ball and eat good food enough for both of us.
See you soon,
