Always tough losing the guys you looked up to and often times emulated. After my dad passed away, the minister said to me: "You are the one now. You are the one that keeps the family together." That turned out to be a real important time in my life. I am now the elder guy in the family and it's my job to help along the next generation the way my Dad, uncles and grandpa did. Next weekend, I'm heading up to the family cabin with my cousin, his nephew and my son. Its exciting to be in this new role and teach these guys what was handed down.
