Ian Bole,
I made sure that I got reminders in my email to allow myself to remember you and always keep you in my memory. You were a great friend even though we only knew each other for a short time. I lost my daughter back in 2013, her name is Emily Jean Shafer. If you see her up there in heaven please give her a big hug and a kiss from myself and her mother. I wish we could go workout one last time together, but do me a favor and save a bench for me. I will see you again one day brother. Semper Fidelis devil dog and even though you weren't an official paratrooper, Paratroopers never die, they just slip away!
Love you bro,
Jack Shafer
