Mr. Veazey was one of my best friends (even tho is was much older than I). He used to call me "Biggum" and I learnt alot about business and buying properties from him. The best lesson he ever gave me was once I was installing a ceiling fans on one of his houses and called him complaining that the job was not going to turn out right. I was all excited and upset over the phone and he said " Wait a minute boy, STOP, you aint building no rocket ship, its just a ceiling fan, just make it turn..." I realized I was way to involved in my work. Lots of times now if I am working on a project and I try to get TO PERFECT I think of my old friend Mr. Veasey.

After he got sick I had not seen him in a month or two and was sitting at the Krystal (our hang out) I kept looking as cars drove up thinking I may get to have breakfast with him... I continued looking back out at the parking lot for him to drive up...
I opened the Outlook and there was his obiturary. It sure hit me hard thinking I may have breakfast with him and realizing I was going to his funneral.

No real meaning to this post. Just wanted to share my thoughts about a great ole friend....

Have a great day!
