As many of you on this thread know, I lost my buddy Gunner on Saturday the 16th in Carlisle. I was with him when he died at 11:45 a.m. He was with me for 13 years. We had many many good years together. I am blessed that he did not pass away while I was still in Vietnam. I am thankful that I had almost 3 weeks to be with him before he passed away. Mentally I was prepared for this as he was getting rather old. But I was not emotionally prepared.
