To the Balaba Family, my prayers are with you. It has been a long time
since the playground at St. Anne's, where Benny and Jeri and I used to "run" the playground - then life takes us down different paths and
years go by without seeing each other and for whatever reason one
thinks of those good times and the people known as "friend" and one
wonders how they are doing... I will always remember Ben - my friend
and one of my "bro's" from the 'hood.

To Dave Balaba and Family, (Disco Dave...), I'm sorry to hear about your loss.My condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.Be strong Bro',and rest assured he is in good hands.My prayers are with you.
