I am never going to forget the sheer joy on your face when you caught that big fish when we took the boat out in Key West.... seeing you and Mel Fisher at the bar at the Pier House laughing together while hanging out.... your buddy Jack Bolton yelling at your downstairs at the bar in the basement cause he couldn't hear you from flying the helicopters....you strapping me in the back of your light blue Thunderbird and you and Mr Funk seeing what it could do on the highway....you hitting serves so hard they would knock the racquet out of my hands....taking me to NYC to hang out with you in the City....watching you and mom dance under the stars and moonlight in Acapulco.... you two were so happy....I could go on for hours...... you worked so hard at your jobs and you had great success.... you did this to take care of your family which you did and I will ALWAYS admire you for this....I wish you were here so I could give you another hug dad.... I love you. Bobby
