Im sorry I wasnt a better friend to you Gator as of late. I got caught up in my own life and at the time didnt want to communicate with you. I just recently realized that I was wrong for doing and sought to make it right. Only to find you passed away. I will always carry this regret on my soul. I enjoyed our fun times in the Navy together and coming to see you in Tampa when I got out. You were always a true friend to me. I hope wherever you are in heaven its where you want to be. And I hope you somehow know that Im still your friend and never stopped being your friend. I just was stupid for awhile. I love you Gator. Rest in peace my friend.
Your friend always and forever, Richard
