Left to Jerome, Az. In june 2014 because i didn’t want to fight for the city a month later after thinking about what Mark would have wanted me to do i came home and fought. The city was it hard and lost a lot of money even the city government and some say we lost but we didn’t because they left. Honestly I don’t even know what happened some days I would like to know others days I don’t think it matters. I can remember his wife always standing behind him in the most beautiful fursl I wonder if she would remember who I was. I was the silent business consultant but everyone in this city knew I was and still do. Wish I could thank him for the opportunities he gave me and gave so many others.. One of the best bosses in Milwaukee ever
