From the all night stripper fishing to you calling my phone telling me I was under arrest to showing up at my house with all your lights going, you were a good man in my eyes with a big heart.... it saddens me to say REST IN PEACE brother until we meet again, I wish you knew how many people had your back even if they weren't present in your life, always just a phone call away.....
