To the Fickes, Koops and Jones’…what can I say that I am sure you haven’t heard a thousand times, I love and miss him. He has given me advice, corrected and kept me grounded when I needed it. He was the first to congratulate you and the first to buy you a drink. Even the smallest accomplishment landed you dinner with him. I have known him for a long time. How long I am not sure….forever? A piece of my heart is gone which like all of you will take a long time to grow back, if ever. But, when I am down I think of the one liners my friend would say that always made me smile. Put the bulldog away..I don’t dance in town and Davey-boy, like my old man used to say…you never have time to do it right but always have enough time to fix it. I will always miss you my friend.
