This tome was written in a free flow way so that I can write my thoughts and memories as I think of them. Some of my feelings may hurt some people and some of my thoughts and memories might make you smile. In no way did I write with either intention, I wrote this to express my feelings and in no way was it meant to hurt anyone. The words I have written are the truth as I see it and feel it. This book is meant to chronicle my adult life with family, friends and business. In no way do I find that I am anyone special but with all my thoughts I would like to pass on the structure of who I am to all those close to me. I can only hope that my grandchildren and all future generations to come will know who I was and how I may have contributed in helping them in molding their lives. This book is dedicated to all those who have helped me become who I am. With a special thanks to my wonderful wife Cheryl who has not only stood by my side and encouraged me to continue to write but has made me happier than I have ever been for the the past eight years. Cheryl was the only one who was able to lift me up from the worst despair imaginable.
