Saying goodbye

isn't easy.  Found out this morning that my cousin passed away.  John was born in June and I was born in Aug. the same year.  We grew up together and spent a lot of time together, he came to live with us for a couple of years in our teens and worked for my dad in his gas station.  My dad mentored him into finishing high school, wouldn't let ;him come live with us or work for him if he didn't.  That's where John learned his mechanic skills that served him well the rest of his life.  He owned and operated his own station for over 50 yrs.  

He will be missed by his dear family, his sister and brother and his cousins.  Farewell good buddy, don't walk through any plate glass windows up there in heaven.
