Eddie,
It was a pleasure growing up with you. We had so many laughs. Vancouver with you was memorable. Miss you. My thoughts go out to your family.
To Dustin’s family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t see Dustin often, but when we did run into each other, good times were always had. He will be missed.
We haven’t met but I knew Dustin because he was a friend of my daughter, Kim Todd, who died in a car accident in 2010. I remember Dustin as witty and fun-loving. I’m so sorry for your loss.
