[Rusty Zipper]

yes patrick,

another death in your life...

the first person you herd talk the day you entered the rooms of A.A.

and the first person to make you laugh again...

yes patrick, i know you may think it was a sudden one,

in the world of the Spirit,

there is no such thing as sudden, as all of it is part of the big plan and puzzle...

your friend is here now, and an even bigger part of the spirit...

i see you took this one real hard last night when you recieved the news,

then you instinctively knew what to do...

yes patrick, i, and we herd you!

and are here for you as always when you seek I and us,

and all of your friend Bobby's family and friends too...

how does Bobby's passing fit into part of the plan for you is asked?

well, i think one of the reasons you already know...

your A.A. group has not lost a valued member, he will always be there in Spirit,

as long as someone, and that someone I and we ask may be you...

to carry on Bobbys message of Hope, and to help keep some laughter in,

and smiles on others...

i see what you mean when you used to say, "That Guy is like the Shecky Green of Recovery"

were already laughing pattee!!!

he passed on without a drink in his hand...

and keep listening!

RIP Bobby S
