Oh the memories of us as kids ❤️ I will never forget

He always said I don't want to work I just want to bang on my drum all day. You were true to your word buddy, now I guess we will bang the drum slowly in your honor. Miss you my dear friend.

I still can't believe that you are gone my best friend today the seagulls were hitting bait like when we were out on the 30 footer and we would stop lobstering to cast some plugs for the fun of it and for extra bait. Life will be somewhat lacking without you, we drank ,we laughed, we shared our individual sorrows, and we enjoyed many a good cigar at the end of a long day on the water, Black Label was the beer of choice, and Stoli pepper vodka was the best chaser or vice-versa it didn't matter he and I enjoyed each other's company and had fun together. I miss you my good friend rest in peace until we meet again.

I'm going to miss you sooo much uncle Bernie our long conversations on the phone and the funny things you would say especially how much you hated your phone lol. And when I would see you those funny quirky faces you would make so funny. I love you a miss you so much until we meet again and I'll make sure to bring you a phone haha. ❤️😔
