DC was like a brother to me. We had many adventures and shared more laughs than I can count. He had a fabulous and impish sense of humor and a deeply loving heart. In lieu of an extended list of uplifting adjectives, I say only that one could not have a better friend. He lives in my heart forever.

I miss this wonderful man every day, and every day ring a bell in his name and call him my brother. Throughout our lifelong friendship we had adventures, shared secrets and longings, joys and immense fun. I cradle him in my heart.

I was happy to visit with DC in March.
Love you man!

Part of me went with you dear friend.

Condolences to Linda, Dylan, Jules, and the entire family.
