You recently had to fight so hard my brother. I will always be grateful that we spoke the day before your passing, and our last words to each other were I Love You. You're with dad now and at peace.
I am and always will be proud of you.
I will always remember listening to your 8 track tapes on your stereo when you weren't home. Thanks to my brothers I have a love of music spanning many decades, from Gerry's Jimi and Janis, to your 70's rock and then my own 80's through today. I was in McDonald's Saturday, the day after you joined Dad, and Peter Frampton came on and I wondered if you were paying me a visit. It feels unbalanced without you; there were four of us siblings, like two arms and two legs, and it's awkward now, like missing a limb would be.
You were blessed to have two wonderful children who married amazing people, and a wife of almost 40 years that loved you unconditionally. I know you are at peace with Dad and we will all be together again one day.
