Stuart, FloriFlorida ,
Mr. Rowe (I could never call him Mike even after I grew up) and my dad, Alex Arsenault, were best friends for a long time. I have so many happy memories of him. Mr. Rowe helping dad wallpaper a bathroom and it took 4 trips to the wallpaper store and a couple cases of beer and a weekend to do (omg it was like an I Love Lucy episode). Mr. Rowe trying to teach dad to cook when mom was in the hospital and dad thinking a whole garlic was a clove (the roast was disgusting and the kitchen smelled for a month!). Dad and Mike laughing so hard they were crying over silly stuff, like accidently farting near old ladies in the store. So many days out on The boat and perfect fishing days followed by good fish eats. The day I got married and Mike skipped the reception to cook for the after party, I got to my parents house and all the food was gone and Mike put his arm around my shoulders and led me to the oven where he was "hiding" a lasagna just for me. Dad loved him and so did I. I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Rowe lived a big life and his heart was pure. I hope right now these two friends are reunited and laughing their butts off at something only best friends find funny. Love to the Rowe family, and thank you for sharing this big, wonderful, loving man with my family too. You are in my prayers.
