Anyone out there think having all the money you need to fix things and make them better doesn't matter? What, where, why?

Thoughtful and loving to the end. There was a guy on Answerbag who became a dear friend. You might have chatted with him. He was a surfer and his real-life name was Matt. He passed away from brain cancer but  he had enough time to liquidate everything and put it all in his lady love's name which assured him that she would be well taken care of when he was gone. Thoughtful and loving to the end. That's a real good human being. Thinking of others and how to make their lives better. Did you ever chat with Matt Ele? He was a Republican but one of the really nice ones. We got along just great. Me a Liberal Dem and him a Conservative Republican. I even became his surrogate mom when his mother died. The age difference worked for us . I still miss him. :(

What was his AB name?

Surfbiker I think. Something starting with SURF. Surfdude? He loved to surf. He and his lady started out living in Newport Beach, California then moved to baja  and bought a casa. They worked with local churches to help however they could. Then they moved to an island where it was much cheaper to live and were living the good life. But not long enough. His name was Matt Simon. An all-around charmer. We started out arguing but he kept coming back repeatedly and maybe we both softened a bit over time and discovered we had a lot in common. It was just that pesky politics that got in the way so we I think we mutually decided to just not talk politics. It got in the way of everything else. He and his lady wrote a book and he sent me a draft or the galleys of it. It was about encountering evil and fighting it. He made a lot of friends. In real life he had set up a place in Newport Beach where folks who were hungry and needed a place to stay could come and be helped. After he passed his lady and his best friend set up another such place in northern California because they also had lived there and surfed there and made friends.  Geez. His death was a loss to more people than I will ever know. Thanks for asking Ele. Sometimes just talking about someone whom you loved who is no longer in your life makes you feel better. Thanks for making me feel better! :) This post was edited by RosieG at April 6, 2018 8:00 AM MDT
