#grieving#Sports fan#texting him the morning he passed away. Sports teams, scores, etc. He lived in another part of Oregon. Hadn't seen each other in many years.

Few years ago he bought me a PINK fishing pole 🎣 cuz a friend had taught me how to fish. Being a 21 yr breast cancer survivor represents the PINK. At some point I explained to him that my fishing buddy now has ALS and can no longer do many things. Asked him if I could donate to American Cancer Society anonymously to a girl with CANCER and he was ok with it. We both wanted someone w cancer to have something positive.
