My friend, when we ran into each other this summer we shared a few moments and laughed and talked and caught up on old times. It was like we were still seeing each other everyday being old neighbors. My memory of you, your mom (Diane) and my mom getting together over dinners and hanging out will forever be the best memories of our childhood days. Our childhood friends (Congress Gang) and myself will always enjoy sharing silly stories of one another. We love you will miss you and will always say your name with a smile in our hearts. Rest now our friend and be with those who have gone ahead and have welcomed you home. Endless Love David...(p.s. get that Atari Pac-man game ready we are gonna have a re-match!)
