Sorry about the loss of your good friend Neville, my condolences and sympathy to the family. I had the same sad experience about six weeks ago, a very good friend of mine back home passed away suddenly (Aortic Anerysm), I was best man at his wedding, he and his wife were out here a couple of years ago and I looked forward so much to getting together again . But, as the old Tom Jones song says.....'tomorrow is promised to no one' !! Citrus county where I am has a large percentage of retiree's, and is commonly known as..."Gods Waiting Room".
