I Lost a Neighbor and a Friend

My neighbor died on April 8, 2021 and his name was Joe. I learned about his death and I'm saddened to see him go. He wasn't just my neighbor, he was also my friend. It was sad when I learned that his life came to an end. For the last year or two, he was staying at a nursing home and his house was empty. I learned about his untimely and unfortunate death when I saw his obituary. Joe was a welcome change from the people who formerly owned his house. Joe moved next door in 1996 and a few years ago, he lost his beloved spouse. Now he's in Heaven with his wife, both of them are in a better place. Joe was my neighbor and friend and he was a credit to the human race. [Dedicated to Joe Webb (1946-2021) who died on April 8, 2021]
