Ambrose, thank you for teaching me to fish, make the best iced tea ever, best homemade spaghetti sauce, and thank you for making me part of your wonderful family for almost 18 years on and off. You said you will come back to haunt me and you are. I still pick up the phone to call you and see how you are doing. My deepest sympathy to all who loved you.

Entire Family - I've never forget Brose's reactions to why we were sanding the stock car after painting it. May God Bless you all and lay his hands on you to help each of you through this difficult time. We all grieve in our own way, we know that as time passes Brose will always be with you in your hearts. He always had a smile on his face and was so kind hearted. He was a great guy and a good friend to many. Peace
