George and I lived on the same block on Occidental and were best buds since 4th grade at Washington.  Best man at my wedding, brother Marine, the very best of friends.  Vaya con Dios, George, I will miss you always.

Taps for George Rakas USMC

Fading light dims the sight

And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar drawing nigh,
Falls the night.

Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the skies
All is well, safely rest;
God is nigh.

Then goodnight, peaceful night;
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright.
God is near, do not fear,

Friend, goodnight.
