I have a lot of memories from the trips to Las Vegas and the early fishing trips to Minnesota. My dad and you got along so good no wonder you felt like real brothers. I will miss the stories you told me about the war and things you and my dad did. You like to conspire with each other and have fun. You will forever be in my heart.
