And a client.  Ralph Vertrees was a gentleman with land in east Texas, and Arcadia, California.  He became a client in 1967, and a friend shortly there after.  Over the years I have worked their lands as my own, and they housed my daughter for a time while she was in college in Austin.  I have watched them spin land off to their children, and helped in the process.

Ralph was a petroleum attorney, and at age 84 long retired.

He has been my longest term client, and a friend.

Rest in peace, Ralph.

Sorry to hear that.  Prayers for the family, and for you.  It's never easy to lose a good friend.

Their passing leaves an empty spot in our lives and good friends can never be replaced.  My condolences to you and the family.

I'm sorry for you loss. Good memories are nice but the missing never goes away.  A good friendship is precious and it is difficult to lose a friend.  My sympathies.
