It has been a while since I served with you in the Navy. I always think about the memories we had. We sure shared some amazing laughs together. I would think about those moments from time to time, but they have been more frequent since your passing. After your passing I realized that it is so true that the good die young. I have never been so sure of something as I am of this. I heard your memorial service was amazing. I am sorry I was unable to attend, but I was out to sea. Thank you for the advice, training, and good times we had on watch. I am using a lot of what you taught me in my career today. Take care Wright.
