What times we had! The memories linger on. You were the closest to a
brother to me. You will be with us forever in memory. It is said, that if
you have one true friend in ones lifetime, you are truly fortunate. You were that friend, and I am so fortunate. As we say in the Navy,"FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS" my Brother.
