Well said Chuck. I think about him everyday driving by the house. Thank you for the reminder of the date. Can’t believe it’s been a year.

 I can still see his smiling face hanging out the side of the boat at the dock as we would be heading out to the lake.  Niagara Show, Sandy Creek Shootout or where ever I ran into him, he always had a smile on his face. He was one of the GREAT ones.  Like Whaler said, "missed but not forgotten".
