I hope Tallguy won't mind me posting part of his personal email here,
which I have edited:

A short absence ....will ensue, as [we] are going on holiday to Wales
for about 10 days, starting on Sunday.

This holiday will be quite poignant for me, because after we went to
the same place last year, I shared a few pictures of castles with
Gummy, and he went ape over them. I then started to send him
postcards of castles from the various places in the UK that I visited
for business and pleasure, then of course this was cut short in the
Autumn. I'll raise a glass to him whilst looking out to sea at
twilight one evening.

Best

If you can somehow let us know Chris maybe we can do a combined toast
to our gummy.

Me too. And every day that I work my second job in Montclair, I spend
some time in the place outside where I went after getting off the
phone with Red when he told me the news that Gummy was gone. I sat
there screaming at the stars that night. Now, almost every day, I'll
talk to him there....and smile. Thanks for being in my life, Gummers.

I know you do, Moonie, I know you do. Tallguy hasn't forgotten him
either, hence his email. We toast Gummy in many ways. When I bike
along the Greenway, crossing through the city along the converted
railway line that is now flanked by various gardens of colors
cascading down the hills on each side, and listen to the music that
Gummy sent me.... I always have a conversation with him.

It's an appreciation.

The music plays on.
