It's 2019 and after deciding to take an internet look for my partner in crime... My friend... I find that he's past on. Galen & I worked together at Servco in Ventura in the early 80's. So many memories. We were at each other constantly, getting on each others nerves occasionally to the point of not being able to stand one another but like brothers, knowing we could count on each other.
