Roger Brown says
Joey – My long time best friend who I grew up with, I am so sorry about your brother Hank passing. I remember Hank the most from his return from Nam in 1969. I admired him for going to war and making it back home to you and your parents & sister. I remember his first bad ass car he bought upon his return too, that bronze Mustang with the 4 speed. I know you will miss him and I only wish I had a relationship with a sibling as you did. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your bud, Roger Brown
