It will be five years this weekend. The pain does not ease with time, the sorrow only deepens. How much I needed you this weekend....How much I miss you.

I still think about you and miss you all the time!! You were such a great role model to me. You stepped in when I didn´t have a father figure and taught me a lot. I hope you are playing the drums up there and entertaining everyone.

It´s been two years. Not a day goes by that I do t think of you. The pain does not ease with time. I never got to say a proper goodbye. There is a whole in my heart but also my soul. You were a part of me and I´m not whole without you. I listen to voice messages I save and I smile and cry and the same time....I miss you so much......

You were my everything. You taught me everything there is to know about life and so much more. You never touched a persons life who did not instantly love you and think you were the coolest guy on earth. I realize 94 was a great run, but I still feel that this virus took you too soon. You still had a few drum solos left in you, and we didn't get to say goodbye. The memories will never fade, and fortunately we still have your music to give you a path to check in on us and say hi. I can't even express the feelings of love and loss. By definition, an uncle, but you were the one who raised me and were my best friend ....This is a void I will have to live with.....I already miss you so........
