Gido I miss you so much. Words cannot describe how I feel. You always said education is the most important thing. You taught me to be the man I am today. I will always remember the line you made me say when ever I was with you in front of company. I am the best boy in Yonkers, Amman, Afghanistan and Pakistan. I will make you proud, cause this guy isn't afraid of raccoons anymore. I love you Gido RIP Johnathan AKA The King.

The funeral procession was the most extraordinary gathering I have ever witnessed. The entire city of Yonkers was shut down as over 300 cars followed the horse and carriage to the cemetery. Funeral for Royalty
