My Dude, I remember when you fell of the ladder and broke your Coccyx, I called and said I would take your shifts at work so you wouldn't have to worry about covering your days while you healed. Even when you were face down on that hospital bed you still wanted to "reimburse" me for switching my weekend with my daughter, you said you "felt bad" about it. Thats the great guy you will be remembered as, a guy who had just broke his tailbone but was still worried about his friends.
Love you Broj,
Phil
