My Friend Berger
« on: November 06, 2011, 09:33:50 am »
I was supposed to go riding Saturday morning with my friend Berger The Tree Hugger. he came over to the house Friday afternoon with his German Shepard Bo to plan the ride to see a terminally ill friend of ours in Limestone Fl. . He never showed up Saturday morning. They found him sitting on the side of the river having passed of an apparent heart attack. He was 55. Bo was laying next to him guarding his best Friend.
Berger was credited by the Guinness Book for moving the largest living oak tree.
Sucks to lose a Friend.

My condolences in this tough time.

Know that empty feeling of loss of very close friend, very well.

You will think of him often now when you are out on a ride, but enjoy the great memories.
