It has now been 40 years since we lost you Rob.

As I age, your loss continues to remain fresh, and I find myself reflecting more and more on how things could have been. I envision you married with kids, an uncle to mine, enjoying a satisfying career, family vacations, weddings, christenings, Christmas dinners and all of the other things that are hallmarks of a life well lived yet, taken from you so young. I cherish the memories of growing up with you in Westchester, attending NMSU together, our road trip antics, hunting and fishing, motorcycles, cars, 4x4s, girls, music (You dragged me to Black Flag, Iggy Pop and others at the Starwood, the Palladium, the Whiskey and the Rainbow more times than I can count), the beach, dinners with Mom and more fun than I care to admit to with Dad. We were really just boys back then and having fun was the primary goal. During our college years you and I would spend our monthly allotment of money (having fun) within days of receiving it.

As a result, we were hungry and scrounged for food on a regular basis. I can remember sneaking on to campus at midnight with you, catching bass in the Alumni pond, bringing them back to the dorm and cooking them on a hot plate. Just one of the many memories I will keep in my heart until we meet again. I know that day will come and we will reminisce in person. Until then, I will forever miss you.
