We played in the rain as children, we rode motorcycles until the tires wore out, we went through boot camp together at Lackland AFB. We shared time in southeast asia. Although we were cousins, you were everything a brother should be and I will always love and miss you my brother.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. I will always remember the fun I had with all of the Bowers sisters and Presley during our Bible School days in Crocketville. Thank you for the good memories.
