I met Rusty back in 1966 as we both started freshman year at Don Bosco Technical High School. I truly believed we were destined to be friends for life. He did not return for his second year, instead choosing a different high school. Some many years later we reconnected and had lunch together filling in the many years that had passed. I came across this picture on his Facebook page and saved it. I present it now as a reminder that while he may be gone, his infectious smile will be with us for many years ahead. Thank you for being who you were, Rusty. May his memory be eternal.
