    " I met Quack when I was 17 years old and started working at Sonic. He was one of the best men out there. He was quite, respectful and said so much with so little words. One day he gave me a Beatles CD because he would say us kids didn't know what GOOD MUSIC was. The world has lost a great man but Heaven has won a new angel to watch over us. Quack take care of my brother Memo, I'm sure he was one of the angels waiting at the gates of heaven to Welcome you home. We will miss you forever and remember the good times always. "
