“Stellmacher’s, George, Tom, and Dar.” They are all Keith’s dear friends, drawn together by a mutual love of cars, although their enduring friendships were based on so much more. We watched each other’s families grow over the decades, welcomed children and grandchildren, danced at weddings, and watched life unfold. The Stellmacher’s, father and son, are still with us. We almost lost Tom to a health crisis. George died of cancer. Dar died of cardiac arrest. When I wrote this song for Keith, I felt like we’d live forever. I never guessed it would become a poignant reminder of our impermanence and a challenge to cherish what is truly precious.
