Miss you buddy!

Hello Ruth, this is Lyle Bautista. Ralph and I went to Jr High in Ramstein. I lost touch many years ago. I'm sure going to miss him now that I know I won't be able to see him in this life.

Peggy, please know you are in my thoughts. You both took care of each other and with him gone, I know it'll feel pretty lonely for awhile.
