Nally (Patrick) of Rising Sun, MD; step-mother, Carol Kirk Miller; nephews, Cameron Bentley (Alex) and Christian Bentley; great nephew, James; and devoted lifelong friends, Barb Reyes, Jack Reyes, Jorge Reyes, Val Reyes and Sandy Hruska.

Thank you for all the great memories my friend, especially for the fun we had going to NASCAR races for many years. I told Billy to pick you up at the gate and I would like to think the two of you are hanging out listening to some great music and busting on each other like you always did. RIP❤️
