I am so sorry and saddened by your passing.So many great memories of you and Keats and the East Lee Road gang. I also have fond memories of our time we spent together when you and Keats came to visit me in Florida. I will remember all the laughs we had and the fun time we had. Rest in peace my friend. My prayers are with your family.
