My dearest friend, not a day goes by that I do not think of you. I cannot thank you for always having my six. I will try to live out the rest of my life in a way that honors our friendship and the Ernest desire to be an example of what good men do. I can say with out reservation,that you were one of the smartest,kindest most gentle men I have known in my life. When I take that final flight,I will be looking for you.My God guard you untill then.
