A wonderful man, a wonderful friend and a great Trojan has left this mortal world a better place. That dry sense of humor and that spirit of achievement are a great lesson to all. Your honor and integrity remain to all a lesson without challenge. The memories will stay my friend and soon we will have another occasion to celebrate.
God Bless dear friend.
