I remember the fun times we had together when you would visit us in NJ. I was devastated by your death-we all were. You were taken too early. I hope you are reunited with your wife (Chris) and son (Keith) and have the opportunity to get to know Keith. He too was taken too early. May you all rest in peace. Love and miss you.
