I love "T" and will miss him very much. Unfortunately, I have not seen much of him since my Dad passed away 3 years ago. We had some great times and many laughs! He was the first adult to ever prop me up and make me realize my potential as an adult. I am sad we could not spend time together in recent years, but such is life and we are all too busy. I will always remember him and my thoughts and prayers are with Joanne and his children. Here's to you, "T", my good friend.
