As my brother and best friend we grew up during the best of times. Our parents and 3 other brothers and great baby sister enjoyed a wonderful life growing up. It Couldn't have been any better. Wayne and I played hard and worked hard and long together in the car business, both in sales and sales management, we traveled together sailing in the Caribbean on a 32ft sailboat, we skied together, raced motocross motorcycles together for a few years we loved to go clubbing with friends. Later we both married and became proud parents and finally Grand Dads. Love you baby brother. The memories we created will always be with me.
I'll always miss our days in the sun. It was a great ride. Till we meet again.
