From Rommel Alfonso

 

Farewell my friend. You are in my thoughts, and memories. I pray your kind soul is granted safe passage to the otherside.

You have been my friend for 20 years! I remember the Summer 2002 Irvington neighborhood. I just moved back from living 4 years out in the state of Virginia. You invited me over. I walked to meet you at your parents house. I can't recall why you were celebrating, but your parents fed me delicious barbeque and seafood. We were all in the backyard hanging out, with your family, and with some friends. I didn't have very many friends, and I thought that you were great for being generous with your time and inviting me to your family function. You've always gone out of your way to take care of your friends, welcoming, and always engage in many meaningful conversations.

I'd always liked how well put together you were, and cared about how you presented yourself. I've always thought you were so wicked smart, confident, and adventurous. You'd always pursue what you were interested in without hesitation, or doubt. From engineering designs, to golf, and to riding motorcycles. R.I.P. friend.

I will continue to remember you in the values I've learned from you being my friend.

Love,

Rom
