Whopper, my first and BEST friend at Wibur Chocolate when I was 22 years old and Whop was 32. You were a great teacher, a patient friend, and a person I always looked up to. I shared so many great experiences with you, camping, fishing, road trips, Virgina Beach vacations, dart league championships, ABC golf tournaments (Albert Blefko Classic), laughs, camp fires, cook outs, boating, cooking, late nights and yes………..the pursuit of fun loving people! We were both single and you were my mentor, wow, what great GREAT memories. I look forward to when we meet again in heaven my friend.
