    Thank you for being my TV buddy and pretty much the only one who wanted to hang out with me after dinner. I really enjoyed watching movies with you and comparing our knowledge of old TV shows (The Twilight Zone with Rod Serling was definitely my favorite). I also liked watching UFC fights with you and learning how to punch and make a proper fist during the commercials. I enjoyed your riddles and jokes, especially when you used the riddles on some unsuspecting victim. I also appreciated that you always were ready to accomodate my weird eating habits (my tendency to only eat salads and fruit).…
