I love you forever, brother. I enjoyed making music with you and our fellow band mates. You were my favorite guy to hang with back in the day. Cruising in the old Pontiac Tempest, solving the problems of the world while jamming to the classic rock of the day. It was always fun dropping in on Dan and Judy Pasco or Charlie and Terry Martin, and the one and only Joe Ivitch. I will never forget riding to Wren's Prison Farm with you and your mother, who insisted on plucking her eyebrows while piloting us along at seventy miles per hour. We had to get quite vocal to her to get her to cease and desist! So many cool memories. I thank God that you were part of my life. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the hereafter! :-)
