Candle lit  by Don Bates on December 31st, 2022

My oldest brother is gone as are the rest of “Me Buckos,” Dick and Paul. Why I’m still here is luck. We shared a lot of ups and downs and clowned around most of the way to keep our balance. I’ll never forget the scores of jokes that Jack, in particular, and I shared over 70-80 years. I’m laughing now, thinking of several. I’m crying a bit, too. Tell me this is all a big mistake. Please.
