My brother, Cliff Bickle, passed away yesterday at 6:20 a.m. after a long fight with a brain stem tumor that took nearly everything from him over time, before it finally did take everything, and a damn good chunk of something from me and the rest of his family, too.
I can't take the time to memorialize in this space or anywhere else just now because I have to work and it tears at my heart to think about it (although my wife and I celebrated and remembered his life just a bit last night). This post is just to plant a temporal flag that it happened and when. Soon, I'll have the opportunity to grieve and remember more appropriately one the damned few friends I had in this world.
Somebody put up decorations at OB.

Rest in peace, Cliff.
Tears are streaming down my face right now and I don't have any words to say, except that he was a wonderful friend to me so I can't imagine what kind of brother he was to you. He talked about you a lot... You meant a lot to him. And I'll miss him... A lot.
