Alan Barrett

My friend Alan Barrett died from cancer this week.  I’ve only known him a couple years – but I knew he was mad cool when he ordered a gin and tonic at the Christmas party…that’s my drink! A fellow east coaster and awesome at bar music trivia, he carried the classic rock/punk questions like a champ!

I can’t imagine telling my daughter I’m not going to be around to see her grow up, yet Alan had two daughters he thought the world of.  I didn’t get to say goodbye.  He was my friend and I wanted him to win this thing, we had more bocce ball to play, Xbox, and bar trivia to conquer. I wanted him to win.

I’m no lecturer. You all are aware of the American Cancer Society and you know you can help. You also know you need to get THOSE check-ups – ladies and gents. Get ‘em early.

Do it.
