Yesterday

Greg (aka Ray) you will be sorely missed my brother. You were one of the first to befriend me when I moved to Wrightsville. I will always remember those fun Wednesday nights at the Legion battling it out on the jukebox and which one of us could play the better tune.
Rest easy my friend. I know your finally reunited with your soul mate.
