DEAR ABBY: My friend of 30 years passed away two years ago. Her husband, with whom I had a cordial relationship, has been calling me and other friends of his wife nonstop. He usually calls with irrelevant nonsense.

One time, I decided not to answer any of his many calls per day. When I finally felt guilty and answered, he was furious. He demanded to know where I was so that I was not able to answer the phone. I fabricated a story that I was out of state visiting family.

The surviving husband of my late friiend of 30 years keeps calling, usually to spew irrelevant nonsense. The one time I didn't pickup, he later was hostile because I wasn't waiting by the phone. What should I do?

You would be doing everyone a favor if you called to inform this poor man’s grown children what has been going on.
