It’s been seven years and I still miss you everyday. Playing eighteen holes of golf; your quirky comments; your corny jokes; I miss it all. I’ve honored my commitment to you to NEVER serve on a HOA Board although my neighbors have tried really hard to get me to step up. What a great piece of advice. LOL
Brother, I love and miss you. RIP, Steve
