Reminded me of an old friend of mine

My friend's name was Leo. He was an older guy in a record store we both worked in around 1970. We got to be pals b/c we both liked the same type of music and had similar senses of humor. I moved to the west coast and leo stayed in the east, but he came out here a few times and we had good visits. Mostly we stayed in touch by phone. It was good. He passed on about 5 years ago in his 80s and we had known each other for 40 years. That's a long time to be friends. He was a funny guy and all his friends miss him. He was like Uncle Leo on SEINFELD, but w/o all the dark side and trauma.
