Memories of Those Who Serve

A Big Thank You to Mary Wolfe
For Allowing Me to Post This Georgeous Artwork
In Honor of Americans


Hope you all are enjoying the holiday with your loved ones. In our family, we are proud to be Americans -- a country made up of numerous nationalities -- but that's what makes our country special.

Thank you to all the servicemen AROUND THE WORLD who are away from their families today.
OUR freedom depends on your actions

    Happy Independence Day to the Ratajczyk family and to all of my Negative Brothers & Sisters.

    Let Freedom Ring.

    Much love & respect as always.

  13. I looked at this picture of you for July 4th and started to cry. I see you there living and now you're not. At least not physically, you will live in our hearts Peter. We miss you terribly. It's because I miss my loved ones who have passed on too, I share that with your family. Peace to you in Heaven. You are amazing.

    Peter was a south paw...never realized that until now. Seeing him play like he did, signing autographs on youtube at Looney Tunes in Brooklyn...I would have loved to be there. Peter we miss you so much.

    I'd like to make one comment about Peter's bandmates. Remember they lost their brother. I know how that feels. My son lost his best friend almost 4 yrs ago. David we miss you every day. Kenny, Josh, Johnny I understand what you're going thru. Even a year later, it still stings. You're all going on w/your lives I know that. One a paramedic now, other guys still playing music I believe. Life goes on. But we have not forgotten you guys. You made music with a genius, you were all amazing together and you miss him too. Our hearts are w/you too guys. TON will go down in history as one of the best bands who played music to perfection. You are all in my prayers too gentlemen. Thank you for being a band, for leaving us with so much amazing music. Stay strong. He is not far away. God has him now but he is not far. Just close your eyes. I know Peter towards end of his life I read he was hoping there would be an afterlife, he wanted to see his mom and dad and relatives. He is with them now I know that. Peace and Love eternally
