Grego,
Going to miss you, big guy.
There is no friend like an old friend
Who has shared our morning days
No greeting like his welcome
No homage like his praise
Fame is the scentless flower
With gaudy crown of gold
But friendship is the breathing rose
With sweets in every fold.

Rest in peace brother.
