words can't explain the way im feeling now. I've lost a real BIG person in my life. He been in my life since i was 5, im now 20. He was not my step- father he was my father, my friend, my protecter, everything! Who im gone wake up to every morning, asking me to come eat or when im gone get up. I really miss and love you daddy. They took away my last father. what am i to do now? im just waiting for you to hit the corner in your mustang, running your motor telling us you home. Keep watching over me Daddy Love Your "Truck"

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Unc i know you're in a better place. this is actually HELL we're living in. so in actuality you should be crying for me! Youve been more than just an uncle to me. Being an uncle is the least you have been to me! I know how the cliche saying goes" to dont crbecause they y are in a better place.. blah blah blah"... but you were my father,uncle,friend,mentor...etc! And im sorry but thats hard to let go espescially whn you are the 2nd Father i have lost in one lifetime! But i love ya big dawg and i know my three fathers are watching me(god,you,and larry sr). peace out playa imma c u on the other side...LOVE U MAN!!!!

A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
never a day goes by that you're not in my heart and my soul.love you Uncle Pep
