“Doc, I opened your door as I always do, expecting you to step out. I stood there hoping and praying that this wasn’t real, but you didn’t step out. Your commando is shattered. I can’t look at your pictures anymore. I can’t watch your movies anymore. Everything I have today is because of you. Boss, I love you. I will always love you. Keep resting until we meet again.”
