John Brizzolara’s Last Column
John, I was soaking in a hot tub, easing away the pains of the day when you came to mind. I googled you and found this column. I guess it's fitting my note to you comes below the one from Amy as she was how I met you some twenty six years ago. One of the handsomest, most tormented men I've ever met. Just my type back then. Some people that cross our paths briefly slip away without a long term memory of them others for what ever the reason stay with us. You were one of the latter. A nice New Year's Eve, drunken late night phone calls, a trip to Tijuana when I was in California visiting a friend. There was something about you that stayed with me and came bubbling to the top as my mind free floated in the heat of that bath. I've read the other notes to you. It seems you've touched a lot of peoples lives in a positive way. Some people just do. Don't know what you're going through right now as you face physical frailty, but I hope you find your way to a place where it's quiet both in and out, It's your life you get to do with it as you want.— April 15, 2012 12:17 a.m.
