My friend, buddy and partner in crime. We had fun times together that I still laugh about. You will be in my heart forever.

There are many memories in the house at 112 Montclare Lane , yours and ours. We have also shared memories in Las Vegas, Bea and Sam you were both so much fun to spend time with. Oatman Az was really a trip we won't forget. Whenever we called and said we were coming to NV you were always there to spend time with us. Thank you for the memories. Ron and Pat
