Bad news about an old friend

[Mike P]

Just a little more news, Huff had some neck pains yesterday and collapsed at home suddenly. The ambulance took him to Tobey Hospital in Wareham, from where he was Med-evaced to a major trauma center in Boston. Unfortunately, the damage was extensive and he passed.

There will be a wake at the Nickerson-Bourne funeral home Tuesday evening and Wednesday, from what Brad later told me. The funeral parlor is on Rte 28 (MacArthur Blvd) across the bridge, heading towards Otis. I understand there will be an impromptu gathering in Huff's memory next Saturday, along the Canal banks at the place he spent most of his time, behind the post office at pole #355. That's where he held court and that's where most of our fond memories revolve around.

I'm not sure about funeral arrangements and whether there will be any public service--I understand that Huff's wishes were that he be cremated.
