To my dear friend, I just learned the news. I'm deeply saddened. We just spoke at the Rainbow Center. :( I'll always remember the times you took me fishing in every fishing hole in Lindenhurst, or when I had difficulties with a few older boys and you ran to my defense or the laughs we would have working construction with my dad. And As we got older, we would sit at the dock till all hours and relive those days over and over. I'll miss you buddy. You always found light and laughter during the toughest of times. You always lead with your heart and was there to listen to anyone who wanted to speak. Love your forever friend ... Craig Tupot (Lindenhurst, NY)
