My neighbor is a pretty good guy. My wife and I have lived across the street from him for the past 20 years. I watched the guys’ kids grow up and get married and then come back with grandchildren. It’s really been something amazing to see the family grow and change. When his wife died last year, my wife and I lended all the assistance that we could. We wanted to do anything we could to help Howard at the difficult time. One of the biggest problems at the time was the central AC in the house. The Wake was supposed to be held at Howard’s place, but he knew that the house was going to be too warm and humid for everyone to be comfortable. I told Howard not to worry about a thing and I grabbed a crew from the HVAC store and I went back to Howard’s place to work on the air conditioning system. I was honestly happy to help out my neighbor. My wife and I were sad when Howard moved away last year. His family decided to put him in an assisted living facility. Howard was having a visiting nurse 3 times a week, but it really wasn’t enough to help. Eventually his son and daughter decided to intervene. They offered to take him to live with one of them, but he did not want to leave the place where his wife was buried. He moved to an assisted living facility across the street from the cemetery. My wife and I still have opportunities every once in a while to visit with Howard and that is a benefit of having the guy close.
