Miss you my friend. I wish peace and strength to your wife and children. I will be there for them tomorrow to lend whatever support and comfort that I can. You rest well in heaven Bud! We battled, bled and left alot of sweat on the lacrosse field together. That makes us cadre forever! I'm sure you're making some lucky soul laugh right now. I just wish that it was me.
