Bryce you were one of my first Montana friends and more like a brother to me. You did your best to protect me and I will always be grateful for that. You in your short-box white Chevy doing hill climbs in Clancy. All the girls were in love with you. We had so much fun in Yuma – remember the Streak? You made the papers. You were always there in those early days when I needed a friend. I believe you saved my life in 1973. Time separated us but I will never forget all you did for me. Luke and Krista – you had quite a Dad and both of you were there at many of our get-togethers – the first kids on the block! I am sorry you lost your Dad so soon. Homer and Mona I am sorry for the loss of your little brother and I hope after the pain of losing Bryce subsides that all of you remember the good times with a smile. He was one of a kind.
