He was mid 60 s a true hippie in every sense but just a gentle soul. He loved music and always sat on the bench listening to me playing and writing songs in the park. His kids grew up all successful and after his wife dumped him twenty years ago he would just do his own thing and write his poetry. People here all loved the guy and loved talking with him as he was very smart and talented. Just followed his own path. Last night while crossing the street in the middle of town in the crosswalk an eighty year old driver on oxygen and medication ran him over and killed him while he left McDonalds. Very sad he was a friend and I will miss him very much |

He told me everything he needed was in his notebook of poetry and his nap sack. The local church would have a place in the basement in winter if he needed it but he just loved freedom and life and said possessions corrupt a soul. Just a warm happy person |
