Honestly, I'm devastated to hear about this and deeply sorry for the loss, Kathleen. Justin was one of my better friends during and after high school albeit at a distance after the fact due to the two of us living in different states, but we did get back in touch which prompted his visit to Massachusetts some time ago. During high school, I donned him the nickname 'Pap' due to his penchant of wearing driving caps and that he often would often dispense life advice, which he seemed rather honored by. We would also discuss women, cars, guitars, music, and philosophy; or simply just drive around town or the backwoods of Buckhannon - usually with a few of us in tow. There was never a bad time hanging out with him. I looked up to Justin in certain ways, and even though I have not seen or talked to him in years, I will miss him greatly.
