This afternoon, I attended the gathering of friends and family at a local funeral home of my friend and my real estate broker, in that order... his mass of Christian burial is tomorrow...
During my morning meditation in bed, I reflected on his life, and then I went to the computer to send the following...
Cutting edge, technology embracing, ZEST for living, true friend, a contemporary "Renaissance Man"...
"Ed (slapping me on my back)...It is GREAT to see you...where are you going, and what a re you doing next? You are everywhere doing everything!"
"Chappy, what are you doing?"
A not too far from his reality answer...
"Water sports in Costa Rica, taking an Air Force stealth plane to Romania, hot air ballooning to Bordeaux for a fine wine, hopping over to Sydney for a concert and to study their real estate auctions, flying to Scottsdale to attend a motivational seminar, then to Munich to study a new real estate technology, back to take Emma to a fashion show...not too much this week (he grins)!"
In 48 short years, while living life to the fullest, Chappy positively touched the lives of so many...and set the groundwork for a legacy to live on...
The day after tomorrow, I'll be attending the memorial service of another friend who lived a full impacting life and also passed much too early...
Every day that we are given is a blessing...TREASURE it...
