I was falling asleep last night and my phone rang. I didn't look at the number, but something told me not to check it. I knew it was something I did not want to hear. Turns out it was Paul with the news. I was right. It was not something I wanted to hear. I met Wrink on OSO but first actually met him at his house in Charlevoix in 2007. I was like "Holy ****. This guy stalks REO Speedwagon." lol. Same time I met A few people I consider friends now, including Blue Oval. Fast forward fifteen years and his old silver "Boo" Malibu is sitting in my driveway as our second car. Hand me down of sorts. And I just got the smell of the dog out.

My thoughts are with Connie.

Rest easy Bubba.

I tried to meet up with him last weekend, left a bottle of crown and a birthday card hanging off his doorknob, He was a good friend and good people and will be truely missed.

We went out to dinner at the Landing last summer after Boyne Thunder and managed to get my 85 year old dad trashed lol. So many good memories hanging out with him.

So sad! Could not believe it when I got the text from Paul yesterday. Meet Wrink I think 15 - 16 ish years ago at the ramp next to Irish. Great person. I was never real close to him, but always had great laughs every time we would run into him at Boyne. Seems look yesterday watching the wedding. We always looked forward to seeing him. Going to be missed dearly, our thoughts go out to Connie.

RIP Punk

Im headed up after work tomorrow....

Dr. Pete is going to be the speaker. That is a really good choice. Wrink and Pete did a lot together.

I will think of you every time I drive your old Buti!
Like fund said, we just got the dog smell out! Can't say the same about the hair!
I know you pulled my hair!
I love you. Rolling with the changes..

I'm a little slow to respond tragedy....Outside of My Nephew Who died at 21....Almost Everyone I know that Passes away is always extremely Old, or is ill for a long time..and You're just

waiting for the bad news.....I Met Tracy at the 2008 KW Worlds SOS Party at Turtle Kraals ( My Home away from Home) ...and mistakenly gave Him My phone Number

I'll put $50 on the line to Charity...That He had Butt Dialed Me more than any other Human in Modern History...Anyone....

One time I answered the Phone...and He said..."What's up Numbnuts? I don't have time to talk right now" and He hung up:huh:

Another time he called Me as I was walking in Winn-dixie...and We discussed Alcantera Upholstery for 30 Minutes...Which neither of Us had.

When the Miami Boat Show was still in Miami Beach...I always met Him and Brooks ...and They always had a Beer for Me..

His favorite phrase was "GFYS" and Fund would always point out that it should be "GFY" as Yourself was one Word....

I picture You up in Heaven....Your Knee in the middle of another Angels Chest...Removing the wrong Tooth...Love Ya Buddy...Rest easy.
