We shared so much together, we were team mates, football, track and most sports.Your death shook my world. I followed you there in 1967 and always wonder why I came home and you did not.I speak of you often, my children, adults now, have visited you and brought to me some rememberences of you from the Wall.

I still miss you so much. In my mind I can still see you the last time I saw you standing in my door. The tears and pain still linger.
