We shared some good times together in College Station, TX, memories that I still cherish. Loved sailing and windsurfing with you, camping on Padre Island, hiking at Aransas Wildlife Refuge, and playing soccer on team Duddley's Draw. Our team photo is still posted in that bar. RIP my friend.

Doyle, I'll always remember our friendship in grad school and our many discussion after playing tennis. You were one of the folks that influenced me to think outside the Texas box. Thank you.

You were and always will be my big brother. I love you and miss you more than I could have imagined. So many more conversations to have...I guess they'll have to wait for the next life.
