I will always remember what a cool guy you were and a good father. You inspired me as a boy to workout and to be in shape. Your singing in the shower was ok but your passion for life was much better. You and your family will always be in my thoughts. Sad to see you have passed on from here. You are on your next adventure. Rest in peace Pal.
