Often I reflect back on the relationship I had with Brook. He was one of a kind. A friend indeed. At times I sit back and reflect on the first time I met he and his family while stationed in Rota, Spain. Our families became close and it never waivered even when we moved to Charleston, SC, Brook and family showed up less than a year after moved there. I here his laughter at times and can still taste those pinto beans he would always cook for me. I miss JB and I still love his families today. They will always be a part of my life. Even though you are not here in person JB I know you are present with us keeping a watchful eye on us all. Rest in peace and we will see each other again one day. Love ya and miss ya man.
