Hi Pal,
I was talking to someone the other day. trying to make them understand where I come from and what my friends were like. An exercise in futility. Just the names alone make them look bewildered. Muggsy, Fuzzy, Moe, Chico, for starters. Miss you.

Well Pal,
It's been a year and I guess this book will go off line soon. I've said a lot of prayers this year. Watching you and Jane handle the things you were put through made me look at things differently. It makes me feel proud and lucky to have known you. Till we meet again my brother.

Hi Chico Yesterday I was cleaning my room and found my cribbage board and boy did it bring back a flood of memories of you kicking my butt at the game. How I miss you, your kind gentle ways. We were lucky to have a good honest friend like you in our lives. People like you don't happen often in ones life so it's really hard for all of us not having you here with us. You touched so many we all carry you in our heart, thanks for all the good memories and the most wonderful friendship. Love the Bibster.

Chico,
I remember all the nights playing gin,and all the talks we had solveing the worlds problems.
Who could forget the days of the Tower and the Hill. You had to be there to understand. There were a few of us that really were friends and brothers forever. Say hi to Fuzzy for me. See ya when I see ya.
Jane,
I'm so sorry. Chico was such a good man. You were both so fortunate to find each other and get to spend your lives together.
You both wanted to meet Annie. I'm happy we got to do that.
Larry

Chico,
You and Jane have been a part of my family for as long as I can remember. It's going to take alot of getting used to not seeing your face or hearing "hello honey" as only you could do with that deep voice of yours! You are going to be sorely missed. Don't worry about Jane. She's in good hands and we'll all be here for her. Say hello to my Nonie for me and remember, she's a really good gin rummy player!
