It seems like a short time ago, we were rewriting a cover of one top 40 song or another, or finalizing a version of a standard from a 'FAKE' book. I looked up to you in awe of your musical talent and came away always feeling encouraged by your words and suggestions. A natural musician, charismatic entertainer and always a friend. I know I thanked you for it all at one point or another and you would just shrug your shoulder, tell me to stop giving you agita while changing the topic back to music. You were my friend before you became Uncle Bobby and then your friend again. Thanks for always understanding ridiculous situations without judgement. I never had the fortune to meet your wife and sons and I am sure you loved them with all you had and were loved back as much. It was always easy for people to gravitate to you wanting your attention, approval and love. My heart goes out to your Nancy, Ryan, Paul and Razaan. Hold a guitarist position open for me in your new eternity. It will be my honor to jam with you again.
