Hi Sal,the person I had my first tequila shot with, telling me to grab a Dr pepper because we were going to sqaw peak not knowing what it was and begging people for water. Watching you learn how to roller blade. Thank you for being an amazing Uncle to my kids who love you very much. You will be missed very much!! Love Kelli"
