Bob and Asta. Bob was a great friend and associate. I learned a lot from him through the years. I’ll miss his great humor and smile every time I saw him. He was a great friend throughout the years, as were you Asta, and will be missed so very much.

I wish we could have been closer, my dear brother. Although we held different philosophical views etc. by blood we were brothers. You – an Artist and Me – a writer and Messenger! I had been misunderstood for a very long time, and that is unfortunate because I have always held so much Goodness within my very being! I have always been compassionate and empathetic. especially toward the marginalized, the misunderstood, the forgotten etc.
Perhaps I will see you again. Maybe, at least in spirit, we will connect. Right now, dear brother I am fighting the “Good Fight” – here there is so much corruption, greed, avarice, bigotry and racism – especially in the higher office. But we know who holds the highest office – the True High Office!
Something I wrote not so long ago: “Time need not be anything more than those special moments cherished for all of eternity.”
I don’t believe in God because of religion but by my own personal experiences and revelations that have been provided me. If there isn’t a POWER GREATER THAN MYSELF, then somebody who has the power of God has been playing tricks with my soul. Ricky J. Fico -Messenger, Writer, Advocate
