I'm fortunate to have been able to call Bawb a friend.
Bawb never said an unkind word. He was a genuinely sweet, gentle, kind soul. When we'd tease him over the mangling of the English language, Bawb would laugh along with us. He had such a wonderful sense of humor about himself.
Words are hard to find to deal with the loss of someone so suddenly and unexpectedly. We are all devastated by this tragedy.
I respectfully ask that we be allowed to cope with the sudden death of our friend.
