Unbelievable that you have been gone for 11 yrs, but I still think of you frequently! With the recent lake effect snows in NY it brought back memories of you, Kevin and I. I was telling a friend of enjoying the bliss of coming out in the morning and the truck was all but covered in a overnight snow and the trip in the late 90's when we enjoyed 90" of snow over the course of several day. Boy did we have fun!!! You lived life to it fullest, miss ya buddy! Till our trails cross again
