You

just being yourself.

Hearing your stories, reminiscences and appreciation of the past, both personal and historical

Your interest and respect for my friends, especially in jr high and high school, that made them feel like family

Listening to our problems, offering advice, and providing a sympathetic shoulder to lean on.

We love you.
