Unbelievable pain. We had a rough 5/6 months out of the few years we were together. We got it together and now you're gone. You always made sure I was taken care of and despite the weather or long day, the closest parking spot was always left for me. Your love and kindness will forever be in my soul. I miss you painfully. Please meet me at the gate for when it is my time. I love you for eternity!
Such a BIG loss of a great man.
I met thin man when I worked at Luria brothers. From the first day I met him he stuck to me. He took me under his wing and because of that I I made my way at the job. But his friendship was the most important to me. There was no limit to the things he would do. We would always see each other when he came to the melt shop to deliver chill scrap and we would always talk sometimes to long. Thin man thank you for your friendship, guidance, and kindness. I will never forget all the times we hung out and laughed.
R.I.P.
MY BROTHER
