Wow, I can't believe you're gone. I've got so many memories of you. You helped raise me at a difficult time. I appreciate everything you did for me. I'll never forget you. You're the best drummer ever and thank you for teaching me. I used to think I was so cool going to band practice with you. I was your sidekick . I thought I was one of the guys. I love you so much and you truly will be missed. My condolences to the family :)
