I will miss you - brother from another mother. We had an amazing time together at work. I don't think I laughed harder or longer while we were together.
We were both young, impetuous and thought we knew everything.
We went our separate ways but we will always be linked by our brief time together. One final salute my friend.
Rest in peace, Mark
