My fondest memories:
Running down the beach with you at Fort Meyers (maybe it was Fort Pierce), Hess trucks at every christmas, Crab feasts at the house in Rosalie Oaks, Beinging introduced to "George" the pool cleaning thingy, fishing on the canal behind the house, the turquoise boat, the toy closet with all the neat toys, are among the numerous other great memories. You sir, will be missed. I hope to have as glorious a journey as you. God bless you and you will remain in my heart forever.
