| RIP Schecky!
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

RZ, looks like we're both breaking out the black suits this week. I'm so sorry for your loss. Bobby had the greatest of friends in you, of that I am sure

I'm sorry, Pattee. People like Bobby S leave footprints on our hearts that never go away. His memory and all he taught you will be with you forever. Rest In Peace, Bobby S.

Years ago, I had a friend Sharon who died suddenly. Sharon shared her light with me and I share that same light with others today who share it with others because that's how it works. The light Bobby shared with you is passed on to us and the flame is eternal. So I want to add a "thank you" to Bobby and Sharon and all those who went before us, who are no longer with us but whose light will never be extinguished as long as we pass it on. Thinking of you today, Pattee, and all those who loved Bobby. More Hugs

well, Bobby's at rest now... the weather was good, a huge turnout, and the Rabbi had a great message... of interest to me, the Rabbi knew bobby very well, and he talked about how he used to see that man sitting in the back of the Synagogue, quiet, he viewed bobby as a different person in there... and wondered what was going through bobby's mind... then outside, he would add his quips! now, i remember bobby coming to some meetings, and sharing with me what the Rabbi had said... it was good wisdom to my ears... after the funeral service today, i got a hold of the Rabbi, and asked him... "do you believe God talks through other people?" the Rabbi said of course i do... well then i said, if you really want to know what bobby was up to in the Synagogue... Rabbi, he was listening to you!

Again... We never know how much our lives, and our words impact another one who is listening. Just as the Rabbi impacted Bobby's life. The wisdom goes on... Thank you for this beautiful story Rust.
