Date men and women from United States / California / Alamo, 71 year old

Date single man from United States. I was married for 43 years to a beautiful and brilliant Marriage Counselor. She helped me in every way to become a better mate for her. I was a caring, responsive, friend and partner for all the time we were together. We grew closer and became the best of friends as we had children and then grand children. We enjoyed our relationship more and more the longer we were together. I learned to be infinitely patient, understanding, gentle, appreciative, loving and kind. I learned a lot. I wanted to learn as much as she could teach. I loved and cherished her until the day she passed away. I can say she was truly happy and content and filled with love when she left. Knowing each other was a great experience for both of us. What I came away from our experience together was how fantastic it was to be completely loved by your partner. When we met for lunch how exicted she would be when she saw me even after four decades together. It was a completely delightful experience and one that I will never forget. I hope someday to have a similar experience wth a different partner. The things I learned in 43 years have made me a great candidate for someone's partner. I belive in relationships and the importance of sharing life with another person.
A friend to do fun stuff with who smiles and laughs a lot. Someone who is kind, caring and loving. First a friend then a partner.
Exercise, outdoor activities, travel, laughing and having a good time. I learned to cook but I also learned to clean up my mess.
