A few weeks ago as I was sipping on some Blantons Straight From The Barrel Bourbon.... I couldn't help but think of him. I cheerish some of our e-mail and PM conversations and his words of encouragement. I truly regret not making the time to meet face to face with him when he offered. He was truly a man that you could look up to. Next time I enjoy a high end Bourbon on the rocks, I will raise a toast to him!
