I remember the day you and I met brother as if it were just yesterday. We became partners in crime living up to the nicknames we were given in high school "Starsky and Hutch," growing up together, getting in and out of fixes and loving life. That was well over 40 years ago. My humanness is having a hard time understanding that I can no longer just pick up the phone and call you or that you will be calling me. Neither of us realized earlier this week that our last earthly contact and conversation would come just hours before God sent your Lin to bring you home to Him. While I am happy you and she and He are all together. I will miss our conversations, the jokes, the back, and forth Mets and Yankee fan digs we shared, calling you every July 4th, and sitting down with you for supper or lunch when the wife and I got to come to New York every other year. Our hearts go out to your family, may God be their strength in the days to follow. Someday God will bring us all together again. For now my friend you are forever etched in my heart and memory. Rest in peace, my brother. Love you man. See you again when God decides.
