My friend JD Delaney died. I had not seen him in years. He was this wonderfully crusty old man who new everything about building sets and many colorful ways to cuss at you. "Measure twice, cut once, don't f**k up." I heard him give this advice to young impressionable kids many times. And those kids loved him. And they they learned the value of hard work and using your brain and living up to your responsibilities. And how to cuss. The good outweighed the bad :)
JD was a war hero. The genuine article. He served in three wars and was decorated repeatedly. He was a weapons specialist or maybe a bomb specialist. He claimed to have invented napalm while cleaning latrines. JD was a great American. A true hero. He loved his wife, his country, his family and kids of all ages.
I miss him but I know, foul mouth and all, that he is in a better place.
God Bless all who read this.
