RIP Walt

A friend of mine and Zeb's died yesterday. His name was Walt, and he was Zeb's pool league captain up until a few months ago when Walt passed the captain duty onto Zeb. He had to because he found out he had an inoperable brain tumor, and a few other tumors other places. A few months before that, he was hospitalized for another tumor, which they were able to remove. It was the size of a cantalope. He seemed better for a while, but then fell ill again and was thus hospitalized again. They released him and I was able to see him a few more times at the Anza. The last time I saw him was at Mr. Lucky's, early december, a day or so before he was leaving for Florida to stay at his sisters, and basically die there. =( I gave him a ride from Mr Lucky's to the Anza. It was a rainy night, and I remember thinking how weird and sad it was that I knew this was the last time I was going to see him and talk to him. I realize now how special that moment was. It's so weird to think he is gone. Poor Zeb is pretty torn up about it because he and Walt were pretty close. Rest in Peace, Walt <3
