    Cam Tait: Friends remember legacy of Oilers owners group architect Cal Nichols (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There is a rugged, unspoken mercy in every final goodbye. Never, do we walk away hollow. When the hymn drifts into the rafters and handshakes soften to silence, grief slips a sacred heirloom into your coat pocket. A spark of their fire. A splinter of their spine. We don’t just mourn a giant: rather we harvest the seed he sowed. We pocket his courage, claim his quiet truth, and stitch his stubborn heartbeat into our own chest.

Then came a knock on my door so thunderous it could have registered on the Richter scale, followed by a voice I instantly recognized from somewhere deep in my mind’s soundtrack: “Hey, Tait!
