Well, Walt, I really thought you were going to spend some more time
here. I'll certainly miss your curmudgeonly wit and wisdom. But, if
you've got to "pass away", peaceful is good. Very good. Dragging it
out over several years is definitely not good and I'm glad to see you've
escaped that pain and bother.
I'm pretty sure you didn't believe in heaven. But maybe there's a big
KEH in the sky somewhere. Maybe we'll finally meet there someday. So
long old friend.
