    Pudge has been in our family since I was a little girl. He was a big brother to me & I loved him so much! My heart is broken that he is gone. It's hard to imagine life without him. I have a hole in my heart right now. He would drive me to all the dances I used to go to & be there when the dance was over to bring me home. I could always depend on him to take me where I needed to go. He was so liked by everyone that knew him! He drove from Pittsburgh to Maryland just to see our daughter play softball because of his love of sports & family. I love you Pudge & I am going to miss you so much! You leave quite a legacy.
