I have lost a friend and brother. We had some fun working and hanging around,fishing running thru the woods and swinging on vines etc. You were one tough dude. You told me a few years ago and at the time it had been around 20 years since I drove the Judge. You surprised me and told me I never missed a gear. You were rite. Well buddy you can whistle and go fishing in Heaven and do what you want.We cut our wrist and became blood brothers .We were brothers in arms .Well ,I almost left this place twice last year and I lost my leg 3 times and my wheel chair ain't got no gears but I am on my second cause I wore the bearings out and broke the frame . I dream though and have both legs most of the time in my dreams. I see ya soon brother.
