View all 292 ReflectionsWhen I think of DPD and the start of my career, I think of you and I standing in that dark, dusty stair well on Montcalm, 30 minutes early, the two of us anticipating what the day would bring on the other side of the door. No thought of not seeing the end together many years later. Start together, finish together 98H-98I. You smiled and cracked jokes to ease our nervousness. We made it through and continued to be friends, always happy to see one another and share in the joys of our sons. I was devastated by the news of your death, my breath taken away. You were taken too soon. I miss you my friend.
