So I dunno whether this belongs in this forum but I'm going to post it anyway

I can only hope that I have that much class when my time comes.

He told me he has albums of old pics with old race car drivers and celebrities. I asked Karen and Lew to pick them up for me when they can.

Just a suggestion and a quick story: The role model that taught me everything about cars died very young (53), of cancer. On his final day I had him sign my drivers helmet, on the back with a sharpie. He too, was a bit of a local legend. We also hung one of his fire suits from a hanger in his room for everyone to sign instead of a "get well" journal. If he means that much to you, honor him by wearing his name.

Dennis Brown passed away today at exactly 6:45pm EST right after the rain broke and the brilliant sunset slipped below the horizon. If I didn't know better, I'd swear he timed it. I have been drinking pretty heavily which is unsurprising but I held his hand through the whole roller coaster ride despite the fact that he was the biggest pain in my *** ever while I was bartending. Rest easy captain, I miss you already.

We had a ceremonial beer poured for him (which we all drank a little of) and his bar stool permanently blocked off.

Good on you, man. You were a true friend. I think it's unspeakably awesome that you brought him so much joy in the last day of his life. Be glad you had the chance to get to know him (pain in the *** though he was) and also that you were such a ray of sunshine during someone's darkest hour. I hope wherever he is now, the Caps are winning while he enjoys a lemon ice.

Damn mark I'm so sorry to hear this man. You're a good guy brother we should all be so lucky to have friends and family present for our last moments.
