Eli was my friend.  I met him 3 Days before he died. I moved him from a isolation room in the ER to a more comfortable room.  When I went to move him he told me he was cold so I went and got him 3 extra sheets. He was so happy. I said Mr Shwartz we are "moving on Up" and he added " too the east side" then we both sung the Jeffersons theme song. And that was when we became friends.  Me and him talked about history because my name is Kyser, so we talked about Kaiser Wilhelm the German Emperor and his gimp arm. Even though I'm just a transport worker I went to see him the next day and I cleaned off his table at his request and he talked some more. He mentioned he has a Sister. I had some fresh tangerines and I promise him 1. He was excited to get that tangerine, but as I left his room I realized I could get in trouble so I never brought it to him.  The next day I didn't go see him because I felt bad about the tangerine. The following day I decided I can face him and explain hospital rules , I figured he would understand  but it was too late. Eli was my friend and 1 of my best friends.  He always asked me why was I so nice, I let him know i hope someone is nice to me when i need it. Rest in peace friend,  in your "Deluxe Apartment in the Sky"
