Catherine is not giving up.

an old friend passed. the guy who did the songs, who was a DJ out of Seattle for years and had more fun living his life than anyone else I’ve known died after a long battle with esophageal cancer. Battle? More like arm wrestling to be fair because he knew there was no winning, but holding to a draw gave him time for his dozens of projects and hobbies.
Never thought the guy I’d get high with would get famous, felt kind of weird to be honest.

Catherine is not giving up.

He was never an asshole about it though. Drove a 20+ year old pickup truck he kept running with duct tape, gum, and profanity. Lived in no name jeans and sneakers. If you asked him what the best things ever were ( something we’d frequently do when we talked ) he’d say meeting Lisa, having his kids, and getting walk on parts in two Star Treks.
He was genuinely kind and funny and I’m going to miss him.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

Esophageal cancer is a £ucker.

I am so sorry. It’s a hard way to go.

When my Dad was dying with it, he never complained, either. It is so brutal, but maybe it’s the sense of helplessness, knowing the end is nigh, that keeps a person quiet. 😔

@CatDragon@mastodon.world I went and looked him up on Memory Alpha, because I hadn't realized he'd done the walk on parts on Trek. Here's his Memory Alpha page: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Bob_Rivers Neither part was credited, which is probably why I didn't realize.

I'm sorry you lost your friend, but I am glad it sounds like you have plenty of good memories of him. Thank you for sharing.

@CatDragon Sorry for your loss. Losing friends really sucks. It's the really shitty part of getting older. 💛
