Gonna miss you, man. I always looked forward to seeing you on Fridays. I have told the story about us at the Reds game a few times today. That was classic. Nancy and Emma, I offer my deepest sympathies. He was a great guy. Others called him Boogie, I always called him Booger. I don't know why, but it was that way between Kevin and me for over 20 years. Gonna miss him a lot.
