Town Fool - Joachim Foikis (1968) 

Joachim lived two houses down from us on the 3800 block west 15th in Vancouver. He was very entertaining for my three brothers and I who were between ages 10 and 16. My dad on the other hand was not happy as Foikis always had a a more intelligent comment for papa's negativity. Foikas parked his donkey and cart in the front yard which was large as he lived in a converted garage in the back yard. I was sad to learn of his death while dancing on a tall narrow wall at a Victoria BC festival. He always smoked lots of pot so hopefully it was a painless demise.
