Oh my friend Bud! I will miss you so much! We had so many great times at Clancy’s! But I loved our time in the pool playing toss with the ball!!
I will miss pouring you a Coors Light over ice and all of our great conversations! You were one of of a kind and I so so enjoyed all the special time we had together!
Rest in peace my friend! I will love you forever and miss you!!
