I have been a member of this unit since 1970 and have known each of the departed members in the long list of friends.
I truly miss them all.
I never saw the obituaries nor the eulogies for most of them, but I can share the few I have. May all my friends rest in peace, and if there is a bridge game where ever they are, I hope to one day be a player.

Dear Friends
Dear friends, who from this life depart;
I remember you; you touch my heart
Not so long ago, we shared a smile;
I can see your faces, though it's been a while
So many partners have given such pleasure;
So many friendships my heart will treasure
So now, dear friends who have fallen asleep,
You live in memories that are mine to keep
Gentle friends, although far you roam,
To think of you is to call you home
Good night and peace be to you, my dear gentle friends
