It does not identify who he was. At times he was troubled as all young kids find themselves trying to tie up loose ends to resolve the question "who am I?" Sometimes he wanted help but most times he was determined to resolve on his own. He was loving, independent, opinionated, and unselfish. He believed in everyone's right to be an individual and love their uniqueness. He will be loved for his fierceness, swager, and smile. A Toast to William Christopher Valentine: Beloved Son, Brother, Friend. To Frank the Rabbit, Old Spice, saying "no" to "no", 16 year old scotch and a great cigar, biting fear in the ass, the capacity to dream beyond what is possible, and the drive to make it happen. Godspeed. Till we see you again, keep the lamp lit, we may be coming in hot. Love always. All for one. Mom, Daniel, and Dad
