Bean we had a lot of laughs working together one on one for a lot of months. I am blessed that i was able to know you in my life. I know in heaven there is a high line that needs to be redone. God got the right guy for the job. Just remember when you are playing cards at lunch, if you are ahead dont leave in the middle of the game. some guys get mad at that. lol. i hope when my time is up we meet again so i can work on your crew. you are gone but will never be forgotten.
