Yeah. I'm not sure what happened but I've made a few inquiries and will let everyone know what I find out. I called his phone but obviously it isn't working and when I didn't get through earlier this year, I chalked it up to a misdial.
Ayup. Well, gittin' to be that age where I should start reading obits I guess. I never understood that one.... lots of people do it. Mom told me she does it. Really? Why? Isn't there something better to do than find something to mope around about all day? Alas, to each his own, I guess.
They must have a social media app out there, to which you can sub. Give them your personal info - high school, hometown, former names, former workplaces -- and you'll get obits based on likely matches of people you know. If they don't have such a thing, someone should make one.... ravi?
