I still cant believe that you are no longer here anymore. It seem like it was not so long ago we were blowing up lawn mowers and at the range for target practice. You were one of the toughest, honest, and level headed men i know. (Even if you have a femine side that likes to hug and cry on another man after drinking Jameson, dont worry I wont tell anybody about that! ;-) ) i was a better person because you took the time to show me how to be a better person Thank You shawn. I and so many others will miss you Brother.
