To my brothas and wife:

Let's all take a moment to reflect on our times with BIG HERB. T= oday is the fifth anniversary of his passing. We know how much he lov= ed reading books about rock stars that died before their time. Geoff = definitely hits that mark.

Whether it was the boisterous Herbster telling me to "step up to = the big table" and join Ezra Company or a conversation about life and = relationships Geoff was as sincere as they come.

If you're so moved, share a thought or two about our friend. A = man who brought so much cheer to those around him and yet somehow was strug= gling from within.

Geoff I miss you my big brother. I think of you often and while = I'm eventually saddened by the fact you're no longer here my first instinct= is always a smile. Whether golfing (if that's what he called it), a = Ted Nugent concert (very at home) or the big Ezra conference table he always brought that wry smile and a big laugh for= all.

Soldier on my brother!
