Ton, I will always remember holding your hand as we walked to that little neighborhood store for penny candy in Rockford, Illinois, you were just a little boy, and you remained my little brother who I loved so much, all these years. Thanks for all your twisted humor and belly laughs, you had a way of keeping me grounded in what matters in life. I love you.
