The Dodgers mourn the loss of Davey Lopes, who passed away today at age 80. Lopes was a member of the team’s record-setting infield of the 1970s and 1980s and one of the finest basestealers in MLB history. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
@OzzyOsbourne@LittleBrownUK@GrandCentralPub Read it, LOVE it. Was amazed at what Ozzy went through in the last years - all the surgeries/pain/etc. I could relate to a lot of his early life. Although not to the extremes he went.
I haven’t really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much. I’m gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him “Dad”. My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing. I think this quote best describes my father.
Hunter S. Thompson once said:
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well-preserved body...
but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
‘Wow! What a ride!’”
That was my dad. He lived and he lived his life fully.
I love you dad.
