Hey Pal, you've now been gone longer than you were here... but you haven't and will NEVER be forgotten. Although we talk everyday I thought today I should write a little something. It's only a couple of hours before I got that dreadful phone call after finishing a late tour 28 yrs ago. I thank you for watching over me, Karen, Kerry, and Kyle everyday. Keep up the good work!!! I love you and I miss you. You are ALWAYS in my heart and on my mind. GODBLESS and GODSPEED PARTNER
