Dearest Brother Rich, Love you Gonna miss talking to you on the phone. We had a shit load of laughs.Sometimes we laughed so hard I thought we were going to cry.l wish l spent more time with you. I still remember the Ford you restored and how you took me for a ride in it a number of times. And the 442 that was stolen and we drove into the Bronx only to find it turned upside down,on fire and destroyed.Only time l ever saw you cry. You were my big bro and l always admired you. Sometimes I was intimidated by you also. Like when you would make me always catch that fucking knuckleball of yours . Scared the shit out of me. Thought it was going to ricochet of my face every time. Those old memories. You, Ronnie, Al Bartalotta with your DA haircuts and tight pants, you coming home on leave, playing wiffle ball in the gravel driveway (this is a house, joke between me and Richie). Even if we didn't see each other often, l always thought of you and wondered always wondered what you were doing.l will truly miss you and that laugh of yours. Until we meet up again in the Cosmos know l loved you and always will love you. With all of my love your brother Scott
P.S. If you don't believe what l just said l'll pump you full of lead!!!! See!!!!!( Another joke between me and Richie
