The death of a friend


Theron Read died Monday on Trax on his way to work.
He was a good friend, a good person, a good Cubs fan and an amazing writer.
I feel like I've lost a member of my family. If you knew him you probably know what I mean. If you didn't you missed out on one of the kindest, funniest people ever. He drove me nuts sometimes, he even made me angry, but I loved him.
The turn-out at Junior's last night was amazing. There must've been 100 people through, mostly old faces, some I haven't seen in years.
I felt sorry for any random people who went in because it looked like a happening place. It was, lots of hugging and laughing and people breaking down and crying at random moments.
Gina set up a memorial page on Facebook. There's a wake this Saturday, July 25, 2009 at Junior's - no one has told me the time yet, but they were talking afternoon. As I understand the state of events now:
Viewing at Jenkins-Soffe, 4760 S. State, Murray on Sunday July 26, 2009 5:00-7:00.
Viewing & Funeral at Jenkins-Soffe on Monday July 27, 2009 10:00 & 11:00
will update if I find out something changes.
