Many in Los Angeles had expected there would be a memorial service, a remembrance where the people who knew him could come and say something. But there was nothing. Time went by and they never did have anything like that. Tony Caruso had understood that it was only family when they scattered the ashes. He had talked to Dorothy about a memorial, and she’d said they might or they might not. He guessed that might not was preferable.

But that was OK. He remembered him in his heart. A lot of years. He could still see that kid back in Long Beach. Quite a story. “He had his flaws; we all do. And that’s it. I don’t know what else I can tell you. He was my buddy and I loved him. And, man, he was good up there on that movie screen.”
