First don’t read if it’s to long

I just got a call that a brother of mine had a heart attack and passed today . His family were from Boyou Pidgeon and they took me in as a son . We lived and worked together from 1978 till around 1993 . Can I say we partied and worked our arses off . I introduced him to his wife . We split ways for several years then out of nowhere our paths brought us back . It was like we were never apart . Weird part was he went on to become a PA , I an RN , his little girl an OBGYN and his son an Orthopedic surgeon .
I’m sure some of you might know him or his family .
We text or talked daily and I knew something was weird when he hadn’t text me . Man I’m gonna miss my brother . Sorry for rambling

He had a brand new Orange Goodtimes van . The inside of that thing had orange shagalishous carpet with a bed in back . 8 track stereo . That’s all I remember . I was happy to get his culls !

He had retired about a month ago . He told me he was really getting his stuff straight and just enjoying simple things . Live and love cause it’s gone before you know it. This hit hard !

Losing people unexpectedly is horrible, also horrible watching a person struggle.

Either way, losing people who cant be replaced are some of the hardest things about life.

My son really looked up to him and actually wanted to live with him and attend LSU . He was the older voice that he would listen to but wasn’t his Dad . I haven’t told him cause I’m working 18-20 hrs straight. I have to say It’s going to very rough on my son .The last time we talked ,I made a point to let him know how much he meant to us and we all loved him . We just were like that .
