I'll always remember you my brother. Even though we never got around to playing a round of golf together we always called each other "Lefty" I'll remember my lefty friend everytime I get a chance to play. "Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Harold, rest now in His perfect peace and I'll see you on the first tee some day over there.
