Tony although I had just found out about you leaving to be with god it hurts me so bad to know a brother of mine had left the life you loved so dearly.My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I hope you will be at peace in heaven with god.The world has lost one of the greatest people that god ever put on this earth and I miss you also. I will always remember the times we had sat and talked and the times we had worked together and the bond of brotherhood we had. I will always remember that chessire grin you always would have when we talked or you would teach me something that I did not know.You were always a brother to me and still will be forever. Allthough you have gone you will always remain one of my closest friends and brother in a sense and you will never be forgot instead I will always remember all the good times we had and all of the rise and falls you had. We will meet again one day when it is my turn to join god and take my place in heaven and that day will be a wonderful day. I miss you my friend and I will do my best to be there for your family. I will visit you in your final resting place until it is my turn to be with god. Keep everything repaired in heaven until I can be there to help. You will always be a brother to me. I miss you my brother. Randy Howard
