Now, days go by and although it's easier because you have left all of us with such great memories, I still think it sucks that we didn't get to say good-bye and tell you that we love you so much! I look for your green Vermont plates on cars at your Mom's house on holidays and wish we could crack each other up around the table again. I miss...

I can't say that I understand the why's or how's of your passing as much as I would like, but the one thing that this time has given me is a greater appreciation for what your life meant to everyone lucky enough to be part of it. Rereading these comments, and seeing that even now people still find their way back here to pay tribute to you, I am heartened. It is a special man who not only believes in the potential of others, but dedicates his life to helping them realize it. You did that for...

Happy Birthday..You are still thought of all the time.
