Today I want to honor Cole on his birthday by remembering the kind and thoughtful kid that he was and reflecting on the considerate and caring man he would have been. He is missed. Today he would have been 39 years old and I want to pay tribute to his memory.

Today Cole would have been 38 and making a difference in the world. He is missed.

Cole was a considerate young man at 11, so I can only imagine the quality of character he would have had today. Cole is still missed and will always be.

Sometimes somebody says something or does something that reminds me of Cole. Sometimes just a person's appearance reminds me of him. He is missed with good memories. At 37 he would have been making a difference in the lives of so many people today.

I wish I could wish Cole a Happy Birthday for real, but I can't. His birthday was two days ago so I'd like to honor him for the kind person he was.

On this 24th year after Cole's passing I want to honor the man he could have been. I miss him and know he would have continued making a difference in this world through the lives he touched.

I first meet Cole at New Directions Unlimited in Titusville, PA. I will always remember the tender-hearted young man he was. He would have had so much to contribute to whosever lives he touched had he had the opportunity to live longer. He is surely missed.
