We Miss You PJ

Today marks the 1 year anniversary since my golf buddy, colleague and very good friend PJ sadly lost his brief fight with stomach cancer. I met PJ when on my first day working at the County of Riverside. He instantly took me under his wing and showed me the ropes and introduced me to all the right people. We worked together for 8 and bit years and had some great times. PJ is also the person responsible for my golf addiction. PJ as a person was one of the most impatient people you could ever meet and always wanted things done right now. The one exception to his lack of patience was when he was teaching people to play golf. Not a day goes by when I don't think of him and when I'm at work we remember his favorite saying "The fact of the matter is....." We still laugh at that and sometimes use it in meetings ourselves just to have a private joke. PJ I miss having you around.

I took this photograph in PJ's office at work, it was the very first photograph I took with my current camera and it depicts PJ perfectly.
