These words are hard to write because I'm still in shock knowing you're no longer here. You lived an idyllic life surrounded by people who loved and respected you so you must have been needed in Heaven more than you were needed here. You taught me how to tie a tie and you bought me my 1st electric razor - I'll miss you and will always be grateful for those moments (and others) with you. My biggest regret is my kids not getting to meet the coolest dude in town. I love you.......
