I was just thinking about you Grandpa, and realized it is on the anniversary of your passing. Now that I am a bit older, I have so much more I would like to ask you. Your work ethic still inspires me, your ambition gives me courage, and your determination and love through challenging times is what I hope to pass on to my now 3 year old Son. I love you so much Grandpa and I am honored to be a part of your legacy.

He always was there to help us as kids, helping us fix a bike tire, or whatever he could do. He will be missed.

To the family of Joe Horick,

I have fond memories of Joe and the going's on at the gas station in Pt. Reyes Sta. He was in my life since I can remember, since my dad sold him gas for the station. Later when I was a teenager Joe hired me to work at the station. Joe was a pleasure to work for, and the work ethics and knowledge I gained from that job are with me today. I am still good friends with Brian, Bob, and Mark.

You have my deepest sympathy in your loss.
