I don't have many words, yet. Selfishly still sorting.
But I wanted to tell you this, Bill.
We had a bit of a wake at our local the day after Amos died. The bartender (who also knew Amos) came by with armloads of whiskey glasses for a toast. It was a busy afternoon. He yelled, "coming in HOT!" I thought, and said, I'll bet that's what Amos said when his prodigious spirit took leave of his talented brain and body : )
