I will always remember the evenings at the gym with you and Marsha, lots of laughs and lots of working out. You fought the battle valiantly. I also would like to thank you Jim for the purple bruises I obtained while out at the shooting range with our monster rifles. But most of all I want to thank you for being so kind hearted and for being my friend. We shall cross paths once again my friend.
