You may have been an old man, but we did not think it'd come this quick. You're not so old, this was to soon. But you did burn it at both ends. I'll miss our deep thoughts, & your laughter. We could always laugh at the situations, I fear I'll lose that perspective. Hears to looking at the world without you brother..

I am sorry for the loss of this funny and compassionate man. He made me laugh. He was also a good example of recovery for this alcoholic and countless others. I'm so sorry DaAnn. I love and miss you both.
