Well, this is my last night in Tucson Arizona as a resident, for the foreseeable future. Tomorrow 5/12/11 I move to Casa Grande Arizona to start life anew. I moved here in 1980 and have many great memories. I got married here and had 3 children born here and 1 born in Sierra Vista, which Tyler doesn’t remember. Lauren and I moved back to the Old Pueblo shortly after Tyler was born. That was 1987. My parents Bob and Judy remain, as does my daughter Corinne. The rest of us have moved away, although I’m certain that Tucson holds a place in all of our hearts. I know it does mine.
As I packed up my belongings I was thrilled that Lauren; my ex wife and great friend surprised me by being there. Thank you dear, that was sweet and means a lot to me. Of coarse my little rock Corinne was there to help and my son Cassidy will deliver some stuff from Phoenix tomorrow so he too will be part of this transition.
None of this would be possible without my beloved parents who are instrumental in giving me this opportunity to start a new beginning in Casa Grande. They have once again through their love, come to the rescue even though I piled anguish upon anguish at their doorstep. Let it be known that I will not be letting this opportunity slip through my hands.
In closing I leave behind a trail of unfortunate events, that I should and could have prevented. I only have myself to blame. I also carry in my soul the many wonderful people I’ve met here. I also carry the pride of many years of providing great memories for untold families through orchestrating their Weddings, Quincenieta’s, Retirements, Anniversaries and a multitude of significant events in people’s lives. I’ve fed Presidents, Governors, Sports figures and Movie Stars. My proudest moments are being able to practice my craft for family members.
I leave behind the people that do not have my best interests at heart and pray for the strength to leave them behind.
Tucson I will miss you.
Casa Grande Lets Roll
