Just today I find out that two of my good friends from the past have left the world way too soon. Ronnie Powell, you will be missed. Your good freind Larry Eckert is on the way to help you with all those kids that are waiting for two of the greatest guys that I have ever known. I consider it an honor to have known you. Take care old friend and I will see you on the other side.
