Ray Catheline says: I will have to say I’m glad the universe blessed me with such a great Uncle. I will miss our talks for sure. Thank you for always having my back and for being a positive force in my life. Heart broken that your gone and I never did best you in that Race, Inside joke but I’m glad to know your free from pain and watching over from above.
