Heroes and Friends

Your heroes will help you find good in yourself
Your friends wont forsake you for somebody else.
Theyll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin
And thats how it goes with heroes and friends

I have been pretty bummed out all day. I got some sad news this morning that an old friend passed away yesterday. Mr. Bolt lost a very long battle with cancer. Mr. Bolt and his son Lee gave me my first construction job when I moved back to Texas. They took a chance on a young kid wanting to learn, moulded me, and set me on the course to where I am today.

Mr. Bolt was an inspiration. Even into his eighties, he would work out in the yard everyday. Cutting grass, pulling weeds, repairing sprinklers, and of course, telling old war stories to anyone who would listen. He was a Purple Heart recipient and a true businessman who believed in honesty and fairness.

I will truly miss you my friend.

Years have gone by but now and again
My heart rides the range with my heroes and friends

your memory will always be... on this cowboys mind



In Loving Memory of Dillard Bolt
