Before Mark, it was good old Bob Fleming aka Flimflam. What a character
he was!! Still remember him callin u " ole mackeral snapper or something like
that!!
Bob used to bust my balls relentlessly about being (raised) Catholic (in those days, Catholics were not suppose to eat meat on Fridays...so we ate a lot of fish sticks)......and wink at my buddy ......the laugh was on Bob though when he learned at my buddys funeral in '78 that he was Catholic also.....and a far more devout Christian than I was at that time. I think when you know you are dying (cancer) , you develop a very close relationship to your God.
He came up to me with a worried look on his face exclaiming " I didn't know the boy was Catholic too.......you guys NEVER said anything to me....you guys just let me go on...and on".
Bob was a source of a lot of laughs.... RIP Bob and Wally.....and Bob, thanks for the grins.....Wally, thanks for the friendship.
