I miss you, man. You were a good friend, a good man, and you deserved more. Every year they honor JPB in Flour Bluff or they toast his name, but for me it was when we lost you that the Iraq war hit home. I'm sad not only because you were lost while overseas fighting for us- but because so many of our hometown seem so willing to forget you. I don't- and I will never get that friendly swim-team goofball that accepted each of his friends, flaws and all, and always had time to laugh with them. I will never forget you, my friend! BJ Comer

To the living I am gone To the sorrowful I will never return To the angry I was cheated But to the happy I am at peace And to the faithful I have never left I can not speak but I can listen I can not be seen but I can be heard So as you stand upon the shore Gazing at the beautiful sea Remember me As you look in awe at a mighty forest And its grand majesty Remember me Remember me in your heart In your thoughts And your memories of the times we loved The times we cried The battle I fought And the times we laughed For if you always think of me I will have never gone.

Paul, Those of us who know and love you may be going on with our lives but will never forgive the coward, Marlin Goombi Jr of Anadarko, Oklahoma for taking your life from us.
