Dear Brother,

I will always love you. I never had the chance to tell you what you meant to me. You made everyone around you so happy. You always were the life of the party, the comic, the guy that you could do nothing but smile around.  I want you to know, that there were so many people at your memorial that we couldnt fit them all inside. I walked up to about 50 people on the lawn. They were mulling around, some telling stories of you, some doing impressions of you (not very well, you were a talented entertainer), and most just wishing you were still here. You touched everyones life, you had more charisma in the web of your thumb and pointer finger than most people will ever have overall.  You were the joker, life of the party.  They deidcated a bar stool to you at Vintage Pub and everyone wrote all over it, even mom went there to go see it.

By the way, I finally met Brian. Laura, Laurel, and I went to pick him up at the airpark since he had to charter a plane to fly in. When he landed and parked the plane, Laura backed her car in the ditch. We had to get pulled out. I never told mom why we were late for your memorial. But one day we will look back and laugh our asses off. He hasn't left my side since that day, he has been really really wonderful to me. He knows what I am going through. It's so strange that you told us about eachother about 7 or 8 years ago. It was like meeting someone I already knew.

We all miss you brother. See you on the other side.
