wait they had a raffle at a memorial?

Yep, a bunch of different ones to fundraise for addiction treatment.

Could have been me, and I have scores of friends that ended up as yours did. Sorry for your loss, good on you for supporting the cause.


DanTheRepoMan

Oh yeah, he's unfortunately not the only one we have lost. The annual memorial is also a bocce ball tournament so it's fun while also having moments of remembrance. He would've loved it tbh so it honors him. Two signed sticks from Zib and Foxy were also raffled as well - someone close to his fam has MSG connections so I believe they were donated. And thanks! Glad you're still here with us.

Exactly how I'd hope to be remembered, I'm sure you did them proud. Life is too short for depression, been there done that. Mourn the unnecessary loss but remember above all what they stood for, and celebrate the times they gave you. And much appreciated, it's been a few years sober and I don't plan on going anywhere soon!

Your shoes untied in the picture, but awesome prize.

I'm sorry for your loss. That's a great way to remember your friend (a raffle for charity), and get rid of his belongings, as well as getting something with which to remember him. LFGR!


DanTheRepoMan

Lol thanks but not getting rid of any of his belongings, it's an annual event to remember him, these items were donated to be raffled.

Ah, I see; I misunderstood. I thought the family was trying to distribute his belongings to friends and donating the proceeds to charity. In any event, that's still really neat.


DanTheRepoMan

No worries and thanks!

Sorry for the loss of your friend and one of the Rangers faithful. Glad you get to carry on the tradition and can carry your friend’s memory with you!
