A guy who really understood labor issues and unions. I learned so much from you.
Now many years later i am learning once again from you.
This time the lesson is never give up.

The courage that you are facing your condition with will be in my mind when my time comes around as it does for most everything.
Never met you but I really think of you as a friend - thanks for your courage.
