Gotta admit I thought the EXACT same thing as silent_jonny when I first saw this story.
That being said, I offer my condolences to you Congressman on the loss of your dear friend. May he Rest in Peace.

There was/is a Dusty Rhodes DJ in the Sacramento area for years, as well.
RIP to your friend, Congressman. His kind is becoming scarce.

I never spoke with him, but I recall reading some of his posts. One that stands out was his generous donation to FR during a long past FReepathon. He put the FReepathon over the top. God bless him and his family and friends he leaves behind.

Condolences to the family and friends. Sorry to hear of the loss of this good man.
I knew a 'Dusty Rhodes' as a kid too,, he just had a different name in my old hometown.
He ran a Cliff's Little Supermarket for 40 some years or so .. thru good times and bad, he was always there to help folks out in the community if he could.

Absolutely beautiful and touching. Thank you for your kind words for this dear man.

I wondered if this was our Dusty Rhodes, the ex wrestler. I just saw one of the commercials he does for a local car dealer this evening.

I remodeled a drug store in Highlands back in the seventies.
It took several days and every morning I would get to the job site a few minutes before the lady who ran the store.
Outside the store was a makeshift shelf and every morning there was a pile of change on the shelf. Curiosity got the best of me and I finally asked the owner why it was there.
She said locals would walk by in the morning and get a newspaper from the stack dropped off by truck and simply
leave the money on the shelf.
That was also back when land was cheap in those hills.
I lived in Charlotte at the time where no quarter was safe
just laying there.

Funny how we all know of one or two special people like your friend. They are the sweetness that makes life bearable.
