Hey Bro, Can't believe it is 3 years. You are always on my mind thinking about all the late talks in the garage we would have over a lot of different topics. Laughter and tears would always get us every time. We made some wild memories over the years. You are so missed and always will be loved for your talents and the many jokes you played on us. You will always have a special place in my heart. Little Sis Patti
