You took me in as a 13-year-old, taught me how to act, how to mature and especially how to be kind to others. You told me how proud you were of me and that you loved me like a brother. You were my best man when I got married and you were always there for me when comfort was needed. For over 37 years, you were my hero and my mentor and the countless good times will never be forgotten. If there was a way I could trade places with you, I would do it in a heartbeat. I know you are in heaven with old friends like Big Harry, Rodney and Artie, and that your father is probably directing traffic and keeping an eye out for everyone. Sunday and Monday will be the two hardest days of my life but I know you would want me to be strong and to continue forward as best I can. Thank you, best friend and adopted father, for everything. My thoughts and prayers are always with you in mind and I'm sure the Good Lord will welcome you with open arms. Until we meet again, all my heartfelt love and devotion. Love You Forever, Shawn P.
