TY CHEVERIER MY FRIEND

Well it's getting closer, the date I mean for my departure from this beautiful state. I have a question for you to ponder, Do you do the right thing all the time? I will answer for most of you and say NO. I am a firm believer in Karma and with that said even I don't do right all the time.. I decided that this is more about you all and not just me... I had a great friend growing up back in Windsor CT... His name was Ty Chevreier he pasted away four and a half years ago after a battle with cancer, he was the strongest guy I knew but this disease still got him... I and most who knew Ty called him superman, he was a tough s.o.b. ... I think that those of you who knew him would say the same thing.. I have decided that this trip is going to be dedicated to him.. I would love to tell you some stories.. not sure if they are all appropriate but for me I remember the days of Moreno Bros. Landscaping, this was well before the Jack and Allen show.. We use to have a blast, we had one riding mower and Ty would always jump on and offer an auction to the highest bidder,, if you knew TY you know what I mean, for those who don't, Ty was a big dude and your only way to get on that mower was to pay... It was hilarious.. He would offer to wrestle for it, but you would lose so that wasn't an option so needless to say he would run that machine most days... I remember we say Chris Rock do stand up in East Hartford, we sat in the front row and when Ty became the bud of Mr. rocks jokes , I was laughing so hard, and afriad for Chris Rock, and from that point on his humor to me mimiced that, TY was sarcastically funny, and competitive oh my, I lost $20 one time to TY shooting free throws in a customers driveway while everyone else was working.. There are so many more... As a father he was extrodinary, a coach and mentor to all kids he came in contact with. He was the kind of guy who would do whatever he could for you... I still point to the sky every time journey plays on the radio,, that was his favorite band.. If any of my readers have a great story about Ty, I would for you to share....!!! He was family to me... So with all that being said I would like everyone to follow me on this adventure across the US...He will be walking with me, The type of cancer he had was rare, Chondrosarcoma.. If there are any other people who have a story of someone with this rare disease please share.. This is now a mission for me as well as a soul search..

I hope you all have a few minutes for following this journey, "he said journey" It will be a whopper...
