May you rest in peace my friend!! Heaven will not be the same with you there and that is a good thing I'm sure! GAWD the memories, I remember going to the marching band state finals in SAC with you, and the fun we had after the show. I've always wondered if you ever got one of those Hudson cars running ..... as I remember them sitting in your folks front yard!!

Greg and I got to see you one last time last Thursday. I hope you knew we were there. I'm glad you finally went to a class reunion. You seemed to be having a good time. The World keeps on changing, but not when I picture you in your white '62 Chevy lauging it up.

What are the odds of working with your wife here at DVHS? What are the odds of running into you when I took my 5:45AM walk and YOU shrouded in your doorway scared the living daylights out of me! YOU are a gem and I will always remember you in Mr Newton's Drama class. Fly well and strong, until we meet again.

I hope you find peace. Thank you for the last twenty years. Even though we didn't always get along. I still loved you. I wish I had more adult time with you. You are a great grandfather.

With love,
Christine

Thank you for the love you shared with my mom! You shared a special love and I will always respect that!

Believe it or not, I will miss our philosophical talks!
