Even though it’s been many years, I still think back on the Christmas visits, the motorcycle rides, and that time I fell asleep in the car outside his trucking business — when the fire department had to wake me up. Those memories have always stuck with me. Wishing peace and comfort to everyone who’s saying goodbye.
