Ru, u were one of a kind.. I can plainly remember the first day I met u and everytime after. For poker night or just casual fun. I remember the day I became "mayonnaise" to u! U were a wonderful man who always stayed positive and always did your best to make others laugh. It was a long rough battle for u my friend. Please rest peacefully and may God bless your family and give them strength and peace ❤

You were a third brother to me. We will miss having you at the poker table and giving us some of the greatest white people stories ever told. My favorite has to be about your skiing incident with your brother. I will be sad to see the one person that could talk some since into my brother Paul gone. We will see you soon.
