My Pen Pal Died

His name is Barry Frank Hom. He was born in Brooklyn, New York February 25, 1972
and died May 8, 2022. My guess is that he died from kidney failure, he was 
diabetic. My son is out getting sympathy cards and I am inside weeping.

Barry and I 'met' on the USEnet group soc.penpals in 1992. He was a student 
at the University of Florida, and I was a student at Simon Fraser University. I 
have still contact with pen pals from that time. Barry sent a lot of cards.
He was thoughtful and happy, and lived for roller coasters. He travelled
about the US riding as many roller coasters as he could.  He is one of the three
pen pals I exchanged gifts with. My heart is heavy, my eyes are wet.
