    Nothing but fond memories of my classmate. What an honor years later to become the school Counselor at our alma mater where his beloved daughter was my student. It is my honor to call him friend and to have been able to watch him working to be a wonderful single father. I will miss his kind eyes and look forward to seeing them again one day.
