Such a great friend during our high school years, and always 'carried in my heart' through ensuing years. Wish I'd done better to stay in touch- life pulls us in so many directions! Always will remember your kindness and that great smile/laugh. Love you forever-and blessings to all who are fortunate enough to have shared all the years close to you

My dear Brother and friend. I was so saddened to miss seeing you before you passed away. A part of my heart has gone with you. I know you knew how special you were to me always as time and miles only kept us apart physically. I'll remember, Love you, always have always will! Lovingly, Sharon and Denny
