RIP my friend, you are truly missed. I first met you when we were introduced, by my district manager as my new sales rep at my sprint store in Florida. we were always talking working out and who can do the most pushups. I was devasted when I heard about your passing bro. I wish, I wasn't too at work to hangout with me when you called me. this guilt will forever stays with me. Rest In Paradise my friend.
