We still miss you R, and we're still thinking of you! Stories of you still break out on occasion (all great and funny ones) and it's still hard on us thinking your not here, rolling around on your chair in the gym. Rest in Peace.

Wow, Mr. Peters looks great. Krantz was funny, like always. R was a great guy, and I will always remember gym classes with him. Unfortunately, I was unable to learn how to drive from him, but I guess that might be a good thing...ha.

Oh my goodness...is that Peters now? Wow! Krantz was hilarious in this. I'm surprised Duffy wasn't screaming in this. Duffy hit the nail on the head though...he's 100% correct. I want to shout out a big "Heeeeyyyyyyyyy!" the way R did to R. Best to his family and all those who's lives he touched. God Rest the soul of Mr. Kelly.
