I can't even begin to recount all of the memories, laughs, and jokes from multiple sessions through the years. To the family and friends and all of us, I pray for peace and comfort. This is just beyond my mind still. In the memory of the man that I named a car after back in the day almost 20 years ago now (Suntan Superman) and one of the coolest kings of 13th Ave, we shall find the strength to carry your legacy. Live on live long. Peace.
