We lost a good one today, 90 years old and 55 years of sobriety. He has helped thousands of people through his sobriety. My sponsor was very close to him, like a father and son. He was very sad at the loss of his good friend. The fact is if it wasn't for this kind man I wouldn't have found my sponsor and the odds are I still would be drinking. Friendships made in the program are not your everyday kind of friendships. The friendships are very similar to what a soldier in battle experiences with his comrades. I will say a prayer tonight for his family and my sponsor.
