I can't tell you enough how much I miss you. I always enjoyed engaging in a conversation with you...most of the time just listening. I would always mention to Paige that I always felt smarter after listening to you. I have memories that will last a lifetime of us just hanging out and talking. On the roof at the shore house. I know this is where you were at your happiness. At Giants games. I think there were two games where it was just us. I remembering telling Paige how much fun I had spending time just with you and how we were slapping fives and cheering on the Giants. You were just a regular guy that well... saved lives during the week and weekends but in your spare time enjoyed just hanging out. Oh I can't forget the cookies... you loved getting the chocolate chip cookies midway through the second quarter. You would always get a cookie for everyone. Flying was your passion. I enjoyed listening to the stories you always shared and I was just amazed at how intelligent you were. I remember when Jordi had a housing warming party at her apartment in nyc and you were having a conversation with some of her friends and I was laughing to myself at some of the guys that were listening to you and how I mentioned to Paige how serious they are with you and maybe a bit intimidated or nervous because of your presence you always had whenever in a room of people. I sat there thinking I'm already past that point with you and we can talk about whatever we want. I was and always will be very grateful to you for accepting me into your family. Speak to you again soon Dr. Lippe, love you and miss you.
"Jarhead" - I know you liked to call me that...I miss it.
