Wells my man,
I don´t think I ever called you that. I called you a lot of things but never Wells.
I will be praying for your salvation.
You left behind a beautiful family and a lot of fun memories.
Thank you for your friendship and your amazing sense of humor.
I did call Rocky´s and let Joe know of your passing.
God bless you!
Bob Marshall
