This is brother Richard. I'm the one still alive, although on most days it's hard to tell the difference. When Trav died he took part of me with him. If I had only known how much I would miss him, I wouldn't have given him permission to die. To those of you who weren't his brother, he was the best...and the worst. No Wally Cleaver, brother Trav, but I can't imagine what my life would have been without him in it. We all benefited from knowing him and sharing his strange world.

Thank you to all his many friends and enemies for the kind words you sent my way. The grief I felt was more bearable knowing you missed him too. Travis is dead, but never forgotten. There is a little Trav in all of us. Don't take life too seriously and eat plenty of Thai food.

Love to all,
Richard, brother of Travis Frank
