Bay Views: Saying A Final Goodbye

Larry Justus, who developed the Lakeland RV Park with his wife, Liz, is dying. But he wants to schmooze with as many of his friends on the way out, including Herb Huseland, who posts in his Bay Views blog:

Larry has a lung disease I can't pronounce, but has been debilitating for a while now. Actually, Larry is in hospice care which he cheerfully explained to me was the end of the line. He said he was dying. I asked what can I do for you? Can I help?  He chuckled and said, Herb, nobody can help me now, but you know, I would sure like to see all my friends again. He then went on to say, happy hour, as always, starts at 3:00. All I want now is to see my friends and (BS) with them until I'm gone. Larry, I'll be there, right on time. Y'all come, too." More here.

Question: Would you want to see as many old friends as possible if you were about to check out?
