This was a very special person in my life and as long as I can remember he's was always the happiest brother I had, the best uncle in the world the uncle that everybody loved to have around the life of the party, it's hard for me to digest that he's no longer here am having a hard time with that,each and everyday I think that he's going to walk around that corner and am just waiting for that day. I loved my brother dearly.
