I will always remember the times we had growing up as neighbors in Kennewick. Baseball games were some of the best times as a kid and it was a pleasure getting to know the man you grew into. You will always have a place in my heart and I will miss your handy work posts on FB, but I think I will miss that smile more than anything. Cheers to you Pal & rest easy!
