    Stan, my brother, I have so many memories of you. Some of the fondest are:
    – Carol and Wayne playing cards with mom and dad, us hanging with our “sisters”, Robbie & DeeDee.
    – Bob and Faye visiting to play cards while we hung out with David and Kelly
    – Riding our bikes with the Vvroom motors pretend we had motor cycles
    – Getting those superhero jammies, you going, “nana nana nana nana, Batman”, me as Spider-Man
    – Playing football with you at Sylvan Hills. I wanted to be big like you.
    – You calling often to say who you recently ran into from high school
    – Calling with every new child, you being so proud of each one, including my boys
    – That last time you called with your “crew” to sing me Happy Birthday
    But what I miss most is you walking in and saying “Brother of mine”, then giving me a big ol’ bear hug. I could really use one of those right now. Hug everyone there for me. – Steve
