There’s no way we can describe how much we will miss you. The funny jokes, the computer training you gave us-especially Sandy, the “birds”, that “puppy” look of yours and the sweetness that went with it. So many memories but not enough of them. Wish we could have “cruised” together-can’t even imagine the memories we would have of that! We love you and will take care of the special request you asked of us. Thanks for everything and for being such a wonderful guy!
