Till we meet again, big brother, I am the LAST OF THE Mohicans. I thought I was on my way to sit at the big table and have one of our polite and lively political conversations. I miss and love you dearly, hug the Brothers, and save a seat at the table next to my son, Rory. Till we meet Big Brother again. Till we meet again , With Love, Patrick Michael
