When I was with you, no matter where we were, the Drag Strip, Dirt Track, Your Shop, Out for dinner, you made me laugh and always were smiling and laughing making everyone around you happy no matter what mood they were in. You taught me many lessons in life and have been taken from us too soon brother.
