Hey man, I´ve never written since your passing, though I´ve known for quite sometime. Guess I always felt weird. We talked when we were 22 or so, but fell off after that. Even still you were so positive and honestly just inspirational. I see old friends on here like Randy and Erik and remember those amazing times when we were kids. You and your family´s kindness will never be lost on me nor will your friendship. Rest in peace man.
