In Memory

Freddy Antonini

Freddy passed away August 6, 2018 in San Diego.  We have no information yet as to the cause of death, but this is the last poem he wrote:

UNTIL THEN

They say that time is relative, if that is so, then I shouldn’t worry
It would seem that all of my life I’ve been on the run, always in a hurry.
 
But alas my running days are thru now, my body is weak, I try to think but I don’t remember how.
This dreadful decease has taken its toll, there was so much to do before I got old.
 
I can’t ride my bike or play my guitar, chances are I wouldn’t get very far.
My mind is fading, bad cells replacing the good, I’d like to do something constructive, if only I felt like I could.
 
One day maybe I’ll get to start it all over, there’s always the chance that I’ll spend my time lower.
 
I have some time left, and so many things to do,
 
But for now, until we meet again, I just want to say I love you,
To each and every one of my dear, dear friends.

Freddy died of CBgD, a horrible disease.  I’ve been given the name of his long-time girlfriend.  I’ll try to contact her for more information.
