From my oldest friend childhood friend, RICK REAPER, himself. He's just tooooo techno-lame to figure out HOW to leave a COMMENT:

"Being best friends with Eric since grade school, I was also quite familiar with his parents and found this article to be quite touching. His mom Roz was indeed an evolved woman for her generation, while Joe Trules was the sweetest of all our dads and a master craftsman; I still enjoy my pho and ramen from his beautiful Japanese ceramic bowl. No doubt they would be happily amazed with his (previously unimaginable) family lifestyle and charming adobe home in Santa Fe. Although the rebellious Eric always traveled on the road not taken, it somehow led him to the right destination, for which his folks would not only feel vindicated, but eternally proud." ❤️ Rick Reaper

Sweeeeet! I knew Joe and Roz from from my teenage years. In addition to my friend Eric, Joe and Roz were more than friendly, they were the kind of parents who became lifelong friends. Their passing hurt the suddenness of Roz’s and Joe’s long tough struggle. Eric may think I didn’t know them well enough but who knows what children know of their parents. For me a visit was with a feeling as I look back on it, that with them in my world, my world was a better place.
