He loved spending time with his family and friends, the Memphis Tigers, his annual Masters trip, Christmas in New York City, the Rendezvous, Colletta's and Pronto Pups.

It´s Christmas, and they lit the tree in New York tonight. That always has me thinking of you. That´s where you went, and didn´t return. I wondered why I hadn´t heard from you. You were where you loved to be. Then we were going to meet. Maybe next go around.
