I just learned that one of my best friends has died. He fell ill at the beginning of the year and was diagnosed with an aggressive lymphoma. He lost the battle today.
We met in a pub, where else, and found we had a similar sense of humour, tastes in music, a love of good conversation and a fondness for quality beer.
He ran an electronics repair shop and, in the 15 years I knew him, he taught me more about how CRT televisions and monitors work than anyone really needs to know.
He was one of the rocks I beat my heart out upon when my marriage broke up.
I'll have a couple of pints of Ossett Brewery's Excelsior in your honour.
Cheers Jerry.

Sorry to hear about your mate, Andy
Thank you Duncan.
Bloody 'ell...I just came from Duncan's last post on his blog. So sorry to hear this, Andy. Here's a hug for you ((0)).
Thanks Jill. It was so quick. I knew it was very serious, but you have hope.
Sd to hear about your friend; such good folk are hard to come by and missed the more because of it.
He'll be missed by a lot of people Dave.
Just read your post Andy, Really sorry to hear about Jerry, I know he was a good friend.
It is always sad to loose people close to you but there is happiness in the times you shared and the memories you created.
Nice thoughts Mark, and you are right. There's so much to be thankful for.
