His memorial was today in Long Beach, down in Belmont Shore.
A retired firefighter captain, there was a turnout of firemen, friends, and family.
A big sendoff.
Judy was there. I was there on the computer livestream.
He was born in 1966, the year Judy and I got married. The toddler I got to play with before we left for Colorado in 1968. Spinning around in the front yard, Ralphie by the hands flying and giggling. Me just 22. Yeah.
