Well Russ, we never got to meet up for lunch like we planned.
We were good friends back in the day. We worked in the Northvale Post Office together and also worked together at Norwood Esso.
We hung out together for many years and oh, all those weekends down the Jersey Shore. I was proud to have you in our wedding party, and proud to call you a friend.
RIP Buddy! See ya on the other side.
