I can´t believe it´s been over 4 years! I was going through old voicemails and I found a bunch of you and sat there and laughed my butt off! You were a great man and I miss your silliness.

My first friend after moving to Pine St. I love your whole family, as did my parents. I know - by G-d's Grace - that I will see, and celebrate you, again. Gone WAY too soon, my friend. With love, John Mulhern
