    I will never forget you bro. We spent so many good times together in the deer park and at the shady house. You are the reason I started drumming. I will miss you so much. Life will not be the same without on this earth. The drummer from def leppard only has one arm! Sap forever

    P.S. I almost forgot...don't forget your wallet bro. And I'll always be the "Big Valbowski" the nickname you gave me way, way back in the day I'll always remember how funny you were and all our inside jokes.
