As a pretty close friend since High School and beyond, I so valued his wit, sense of humor and ideals! We had great memories together and our family so appreciated his work and Love. He had a great High School class of buddies and kept all of them as he grew into a skilled and detailed craftsman. Will always remember the times we had with a smile. Rest in peace and see you in the next Universe my friend.
