I have been truly blessed to have had a friend like Captain Tom "Whitey" Majewski. I am grateful our paths crossed in high school and that our lives touched. I shall always remember him with the deepest admiration and affection and I shall always feel honored by the journey we traveled together in search of better and more peaceful tomorrows.
And so, in the presence of his beloved and indispensable Dolly, his children David and Cheryl, and family and friends he so deeply revered, I say,"so long my friend" to a gifted leader, and gracious human being. I do so with a line from Yeats, who wrote: "Think where man's glory most begins and ends and say -- my glory was that I had such friends."
