Lift a glass

Howdy,
Been absent for a few weeks. Back when I was in Monroe, LA me and my pardner John Saucier had a boxing gym on the side. Just a small deal 3000 square feet and one ring and the usual bags and stuff. Trained a few ameteurs and semi pros and a lot that just wanted to stay in shape. One of the latter was a kid named Stan. He was mid twenties, had a Kawasaki crotch rocket and was a pretty good guy. He was an orphan and had spent four years in the Corps and was going to the University of Lousiana at Monroe. Had heart and fought pretty good for a lightweight. His sister called me a few weeks ago. Long story short, liver cancer, they did an exploratory and just sewed him back up and gave him lots of pain killers. He had asked her to call and let me know. I headed down and spent some time with him. Not a good way to go. Stan died Monday. He was as I said a good kid. Always was gonna get him a Harley etc. The usual things.
So raise a glass for him, and pray none of us goes like that.
Ride Free....Bear

May the Lord bless you and keep you, Stan. You made good friends and served a good country. Rest in peace - semper fidelis.

:cheers:

Lost a little sister to cancer a couple of years ago. The young should never go first, Just ask my Mom. Bless you Bear for being there for him.

In life he rode in the wind, in death may he ride on the wind in peace, forever free. :cheers:

May he rest in peace, what a shame for a young promising life to go this early. This type of cancer is not very forgiving!

Sorry to hear of your friends passing GreyBear. And like drillsarge said friendslike you are hard to find. A glass of Jack is raised in his honor and also to you for being there for him.

Condolences to his family and prayers for him. It is tough loosing a friend, I lost my best friend about a year and a half ago. I called him one Friday just to bullsh&t and see how he was. He told me he was in the hospitol for a respitory issue. The following Tuesday he was gone. I couldn't believe it.

So here's to Stan, and to you Bear for being such a good friend. :cheers:

Sorry to hear Bear, you were a good friend, and I'm sure he will be sorely missed. I'll raise a glass for him.....RIP
