My friend I am going to miss you. You were such a nut “a cracked nut” to be more specific. I wish I could have said goodbye. You will leave a void in a lot of lives. Go rest high on that mountain.

I was truly saddened and surprised to hear of the passing of my military buddy and good friend "Bobby." There are many good memories of he and I (with some other characters thrown in) during our short time together. My thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends.
