Easter egg hunt/Fights in Nana & Pops backyard & down at the lake house...
Fishing and you teaching me how to tie a fisherman´s knot....(spin line 3/4 times & PUT line through bottom eye, then back up through the top one. Pull! )
Learning all about Gun safety, and then the fun part.........Shooting them all!!! From a Gun that´s 2 inches long to a full auto .50 Cal!!!!
Many rounds of some of the finest fireworks!!!
Drag strip, driving cars back from Fredericksburg auto auction. And you best believe having the best radar(for cops) on the way down and back.!
Wasn´t nothing to be traveling at about 100 MPH.
Uncle Rick taught me so many things throughout my life, and for that, I am grateful....
One of many things that he taught me was if you stay ready and are prepared you don´t have to get ready or stress about it... When you´re on time YOURE LATE!!!
if you´re lost, pull over and ask somebody....
There´s a time for fun and then there´s time for taking care of business. Enjoy the fun times.!!!
If you´re going to steal a Dodge Viper from the family dealership, make sure you win the race!
(Well did you have fun? Did you damage the vehicle and how fast did you go? And what was your time?) YES, don´t think so, 150MPH, 11.8 seconds! #BOOM
TAUGHT ME HOW TO RIDE MY FIRST DIRT BIKE Along side with my other uncle Barry.(Red & White Honda mini 50CC)
Help teach me how to wakeboard and water ski down at Lake Anna.
Also, if it wasn´t for me to hear, then it´s obviously Nun Ya business!
Taught me how to enjoy a fine Cuban cigar!
Countless "spud guns"with high octane gas! Literally, the flames out the end of the tube were over 3 feet! #GOODTIMES
I think the only thing I regret is not spending more time with you over the past several years. I am thankful for our recent visit and telephone chats. I love you always, and can´t wait to see you again in paradise we´re all we get to do is be happy, young, and praise Jesus Christ. Our lord and holy savior. ( Not quite ready to meet him yet, but definitely looking forward to it
Fly high and rest easy Uncle!
#Gonebutneverforgotten
P.S. you still owe me that fishing trip...
