    I’ll never forget all the times Jacob and I had together, from Gus Macker, to staying the night on the weekends in high school and always being welcomed in your home. Your son always carried around an infectious smile and was truly a great friend. To Bruce, Jerri and Maddy, my thoughts are with you and the whole family.
