the gentle giant viking next door.

Thank you Pax, yes he lived a full life.

I couldn't go to sleep last night, Melancholy about his condition. I became very introspective and sad around 3:00AM this morning. I'm tired now... Just got off the phone from his nephew. Needless to say, he died last night, peacefully in his sleep.

It sounds like you each got a lot from the relationship you had with your gentle giant, smilingcat. That is lovely.
