My other dad, you'll never know what you meant to me through the years, always there to encourage me & even scold me when I needed it. My one regret is that I didn't get sober like you wanted before you left me. I had more respect & love for you then my biological dad. I will never forget you & will try to become the man you wanted me to be. I love you. I'm sorry for the loss of your dad Logan & I love you Troi, Jeannie , Roy & Cookie.

My dear friend, my life long friend. I will so miss your voice & the long calls we made to each other, I have a message on my answering machine that I forgot to erase from one of the times you were in the hospital, I'm so glad I have that so I can hear your voice when I'am missing you. Tina, you were the best thing, besides me, that ever happened to him. I will carry him in my heart & you in my prayers. I love you all.
