My wife of 18 years died on 7/29/09. She has been very sick for the last six years, but I still feel like I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was. May be way too soon...but I can't stand being alone. I'm in great health, I'm trustworthy, loyal, kind, and not into trying to bend anyone to my will. Looking for someone to be by my side, not two steps behind. Not looking for a "hang-out"...I have my own place. I'm not rich, (by a long shot), but I'm financially comfortable (though all things are relative). Until my wife died I've had fun nearly every day. Want that back again. Will freely answer any questions if you are interested.

Up for showing "old fashion" respect...dinner at a place of your choice followed by anything from a brief to a marathon conversation for the purpose of establishing a check of mutual compatiability. The rest we'll "play-by-ear".
