This month marks 19 years since he passed away.  Still there aren’t many days that go by that I don’t think of him.  He is a hero to me in so many ways. He was so loyal and honest and hardworking. I strive to be like him. He went through a lot of tough times in his life…yet he never complained. He also had a great sense of humor and was an awesome story-teller.

He loved the old coupe. Many times he was offered good money for it but he declined every time. I am so thankful to be the keeper of it now. I cant wait to go for a spin….I know I will have a renegade (our nickname for each other) riding shotgun.

Here are some pics of him. He was the greatest.
