I think of you often. Teenagers at Spotnicks. The racing motor we got for your 55 chevy, that you had so much fun in up and down Strawberry lane. All the trips we had to Flagler beach and the international water way. Fishing before there were any homes or condos, just those sandy trails no car should of went down. Great time exploring the beautiful river. We spent many days up there. Thanks for all the great memories.

It's been 10 years and I still think of my best friend and brother in law often.
We had some good times working together for a Daytona AC company.
Long before that we were best friends as teenagers in Samsula'
Later brother in laws. And the many fishing trips we enjoyed together.
Bobby was a good soul and I miss him.

To my really tall cousin,
I am sad that you have left this world but happy that you have entered one with no pain or heartache. It's kinda of like the family reunions at Aunt Merle's house that I remember. All the family that was there is now up in heaven. I hope they have enough food up there for you cause the one thing I remember is that you sure could eat. You were like a bottomless pit (haha)To Connie, Geoffrey, Michael,Craig and Michelle my thoughts and prayers go out to you in this time of sorrow.
Love you guys
Lisa
