We were lifelong friends whose parents thought we were bad influences on each other and forbid us to associate but we just never quite listened. Best friend anyone could ask for and someone I really looked up to. RIP Brother. No more suffering now. Sorry we could never get that last pool game in. Say hi to Craig for me. Annabelle please email me at your convenience. Swerv
