I was hot tempered ,and he would settle me down when I got testy. From those days on he was always a concerned about me,great friend. I loved him for taking care of me when I was so young. Rest in peace great friend,see you pretty soon,look forward to pitching ball with you again,,love,,SAM FORNSAGLIO.
