Boosting signal for Frank Biafore, regarding the passing of his partner Richard Tuck (the East Bay square dancers, NOT the SF-based caller)

subject Great Sorrow and Joy

It is with great sorrow and joy that I let you know that Richard Tuck (east bay) passed away this evening at home with Tim and I. For those of you that knew Richard you know how many lives he touched and how incredibly positive and generous he was. It is, I think, for that reason I can't help also look for the joy at this time. I am happy he passed away at home, as he wished, and that Tim & I were able to help him at such a special time. I can honestly say I am a much better man for having known him, loved him and learned from him for the past 17 years. It was also through him that I was introduced to square dancing and thru me that he started dancing again after a lengthy absence. I have missed our many square dance friends and look forward to being able to see many of you again. My visits to clubs and dances has been sparse the past year or two, but I hope that will change in the near future.

yellowrocks,

Frank (Biafore)

PS. If people could be sure this is sent to the other club email lists I would be grateful.
