You were a cool cat PJ! I hope you haunt the Sports Bar because they didn't deserve your loyalty! Watch over those who truly cared... for you always had positive intentions.

It's been awhile since seeing PJ but I remember going to grab his dog for walks at the park. We always had something to joke about and laugh. He always had some work to get done, always on the go. It'll be weird not seeing him around town and having some kind of laugh with him. I am sorry to you all for the loss of his life. May he live in a brighter light and protect those he loves fully.
I will miss you PJ ...
