You were always smiling and laughing. I can't remember a glimple or memory of you where you were not. Although I never said it, I always felt closer to you, being that we were both the youngest of our families. Being the one that is teased most (and the only one who kept the Molk blonde hair)! When I would hear and see your brothers teasing you all the time, usually when we played poker, it would spark the kindred spirit in me. And your stand-up/push back reaction helped me to do the same as I grew up. You leave behind many great memories for me...seeing you at Weco Sales, after the golf outings with my Dad, and most of all at my wedding. I really liked seeing you so much. You will be missed by all. I too will remember you whenever I look at someone, but that someone will be my son, Sean, who looks so much like you. Who also carries the torch of being the youngest in the family. Here's hoping he keeps the blonde hair as a lasting tribute.
