That visit soothed my soul and his. I met Jon 25 yrs ago in PHCC. He looked and carried himself like a Marine. He had a perfect buzz cut and a huge scar on his head that looked total BAD-A--! Like G.I.Joe...He had one of those tall pilsner frosty glasses and I had my lead in to talk to him.. Good friends ever since Licensed Master Plumber and Radiant expert. Great husband, father, loyal as a German Shepard as a friend. Accomplished great things professionally and personally. A class act that smiles his way through the highs and lows of life. He has been dealt a terrible hand with his health, that returns every few years but he fights on like a Marine. What a man! Please keep this great asset to the Long Island 🏝 Plumbing and Heating trade in your thoughts and prayers. I found a remarkable bakery a few miles away called Stanleys...since 1948. I brought Jon and his Catholic Charities nurses enough goodies for a week! Thanks to everyone that landed a hand in tracking down my old friend and those who prayed for him God Bless you. This is a great place, The Wall, an extension on my house if you will..its Home. Mad Dog 🐕0

Thank you, Ed. After hitting 55, and making it through some major crises family crises the last few years, I have made a great effort to reach out and find the great people of my life to reconnect with. Thats why texting is great. I'm now in touch on a daily basis with my oldest friend from 5 yrs old, Arnold whom I hadn't seen in 39 years. He in turn, connected us with Marc who left How'beach in 3rd grade. We were very close. Marc I hadn't seen in like 47 yrs...WHAT??? Amazingly n we have the EXACT same taste in music..its uncanny. time is ticking, man.
I went to Jersey two Sundees ago to buy a car...No Sundee sales! I happened to text my buddy Billy who I did my first boiler side job at 19. His son sells cars. Well two weeks later I have two great cars. I hadn't seen or worked with Billy in 35 yrs but the 3 yrs we did spend together was a lifelong trust and bond. I trusted his son sight unseen...Thats the kind of close friends I have blessed. Mad Dog1
