I miss you, man. You were a good friend, a good man, and you deserved more. Every year they honor JPB in Flour Bluff or they toast his name, but for me it was when we lost you that the Iraq war hit home. I'm sad not only because you were lost while overseas fighting for us- but because so many of our hometown seem so willing to forget you. I don't- and I will never get that friendly swim-team goofball that accepted each of his friends, flaws and all, and always had time to laugh with them.
I will never forget you, my friend!BJ Comer

To the living I am goneTo the sorrowful I will never returnTo the angry I was cheatedBut to the happy I am at peaceAnd to the faithful I have never leftI can not speak but I can listenI can not be seen but I can be heardSo as you stand upon the shoreGazing at the beautiful seaRemember meAs you look in awe at a mighty forestAnd its grand majestyRemember meRemember me in your heartIn your thoughtsAnd your memories of the times we lovedThe times we criedThe battle I foughtAnd the times we laughedFor if you always think of meI will have never gone.
