Goodbye my friend, we met over 25 years ago and quickly became close, we have shared quite a lot while countless days fishing together. We have shared a love for our Chevrolets, boats and a good glass of bourbon once in a while. You will be missed, and my deepest condolences to Louise and the girls. Goodbye my brother.
