(2,198 posts)... I just learned of the passing of a friend a few years younger than I am. I'm on the shady side of 76.
I will generate the warmest support I can muster, and sympathies to his loved ones. I will aim them westward.

"Walking in Beauty": Closing Prayer from the Navajo Blessing Way Ceremony
In beauty I walk
With beauty before me I walk
With beauty behind me I walk
With beauty above me I walk
With beauty around me I walk
It has become beauty again
Today I will walk out, today everything negative will leave me
I will be as I was before, I will have a cool breeze over my body.
I will have a light body, I will be happy forever, nothing will hinder me.
I walk with beauty before me. I walk with beauty behind me.
I walk with beauty below me. I walk with beauty above me.
I walk with beauty around me. My words will be beautiful.
In beauty all day long may I walk.
Through the returning seasons, may I walk.
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk.
With dew about my feet, may I walk.
With beauty before me may I walk.
With beauty behind me may I walk.
With beauty below me may I walk.
With beauty above me may I walk.
With beauty all around me may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk.
My words will be beautiful

(177,600 posts)panader0 has been on this board for a long time, and I always looked forward to his posts. That stroke he had last year sounded like a very bad one. It can be hard to come back from that kind of seizure.
My best wishes are with him and his family.

So Ill continue to be foolish for a while longer.

Douglas Eugene Baker
September 7, 1950 to March 11, 2024
Douglas Eugene Baker passed away on March 11, 2024. He was 73 years old. Born in San Francisco to World War II bombardier Jess Francis Baker and English teacher Elizabeth Kingston, Doug spent his early years traveling the world - Nevada, Morocco, the Philippines, Hawaii, and later Southern Arizona. He often spoke longingly about his days as a member of the Southern Unit Surf Club in Honolulu or skipping school to hike Mount Lemmon with a six pack and some friends. After high school, he spent time bouncing around the Pacific Northwest as a student, cherry picker, and lumberjack before settling on 40 acres outside Sierra Vista, AZ and beginning a masonry business with his best friend.
Always a lover of rhythm & blues and rock & roll, Doug spent several decades playing guitar in bands with an evolving cast of characters. He was a lifelong fan of the San Francisco Giants and passed his love of baseball on to all four of his children - watching, cheering for, and even sometimes coaching their teams. He had a deep love for Southern Arizona and it's history, took pleasure in feeding the birds, and loved the monsoon season. He was an optimistic idealist, a hippy, an avid reader, and an incredible story teller. Doug was preceded in death by his mother, father, brother, and many close friends. He is survived by his four children, Chad (Gina), Jessica (Lance), Olivia, and Matthew; three grandchildren, Jackson, Reagan, and Elise; and his partner of over 20 years, Jeannie McKinney.
