"ACE" I miss you so very much. Today I thought about calling you only to remember that I couldn't talk to you. So many people depended on you for your skills, so many people were attracted to you. There was just something about you that people liked. Was it because you always remembered their name and asked about what was going on in their lives? What ever the magic was I wish I and more people had it. Enlighten us, show us how you did it.



Love Tom & Ann and your best motor cycle friend, Buddy
