Oh Richard, all the memories from our childhood, we had a blast. I’m so sorry you were called home so soon. Your with all our loved ones who you so greatly missed. I’ll see you when I get there. You have a tough job trying to keep everyone there w/you under control. I will dearly miss you. Rest well. <3
Brother as I’m sitting here thinking about you with tears rolling down my face remembering all the good times I am going to miss knowing that I can’t just pick up the phone and call you or going to races and not having our little chats on Friday nights at the track I had to make some pretty heart breaking decisions and the hardest one was to let you go but I believe in heaven and I know that you are going to be one of my many angels shining down on me I love you big and may you Rest In Peace love always and forever your little brother Garry
I’m glad I had the pleasure of meeting you. You were a great guy. Gone way to soon. Sending lots of prayers and healing to your family and friends.
If only there had been a free, safe and effective vaccine that could have prevented this!
