Kevin,

As kids we shared so, so many wonderful times traveling about in the Caddilac. 7 of us smashed in the back, traveling about for 2 weeks every year when the restaurant was shut down for vacation break. We all would climb in for our annual pilgrimage. Each of us fighting for space, teasing each other. People would be amazed when we stopped as we all would climb out. It was like the right of passage of our youth. Every day you would order French Toast for breakfast no matter where we went. I think you have had French Toast in over 15 states! That has got to be some kind of record! I can still here you arguing with your mother about how nice the coffee cups were at the restaurants we ate at and pleading with her not to take them. What ever became of that fine collection!

I cherish those memories and have thought of you often over the years. I still have the picture of us singing at Debbie and Pete's wedding hanging in my den.

Now that you are gone there is more space here in the back seat. A void that cannot be filled by anyone else in many peoples lives. Know that you are missed.

Find peace my friend.

"Bandito" (as I called you)
We had each others' backs for many years
and shared tales that others could only imagine.
I will see you on the other side.
The Gates of Heaven now have the best "Doorman" ever.
I'm grateful for all the time we were able to share the last few months.
Peace Within my "Brother".
I love and miss you.
"Boris"
