Dan was part of our golf team, consisting of me, David Bruget and Dan. Dan gave us the name: "The Highway Men". We would play golf twice a month at different golf courses around the valley just for fun. RIP Brother.

God how I miss you, babe. We knew that the day was going to come. I´m so thankful for the raw, honest talks we had the last few months. I know you are with your Mom and Dad now and just how much that means to you. Find Shug... I´ll see you again.
