Lise Valentin wrote : Memories of the way we were. We met when we were 5. An amazing, special friendship to stretch over more than 3 decades. From what Ive read most really only knew Justin the chef, the teacher. I knew Justin, a little boy in faded jeans torn at the knees with a toothless smile and lil devils in his eyes. We build forts and sand castles as tots. We played mud slinging wars as children. I knew him in gothic stage. Pitching up at my parents front door dressed in black, over sized trench coat and a dagger and skull earing. My much older brother calling me bout the little satanist for me at the front door. My mom laughing saying its just Justin, its a stage. And so it was. I was sporting a spider/skull combo and shifting spanner earings myself those days. After school and the navy our journeys ended at each other doorsteps again. He was beautiful, sporting black jeans, white T-shirt and black leather sport jacket with a perfect pencil beard. Lol even my moms heart skipped a beat. Justin had a habit of getting into sticky situations with girls those days. And me being his wing person had to bail him out regularly lol.then. Wed end up on top of the hill over looking town with a bottle of OBS. He shared his 1st culinary experience with me, way before he went to school for it. My advice was for him was to follow his passion. Cause if you enjoy what you do, you cant be anything BUT good at it. I never told him how proud I was of him reaching for it and achieving his dream. But more than anything else in this world. I AM PROUD OF THIS AWESOME, AMAZING HUMANBEING he became. To most of u sitting here, he was a chef and teacher. An inspiration. To me he was the one that got away. We agreed our friendship meant to much to take that chance. So from building sand castles to castles in the sky. Our friendship was build on love and respect. And Im gona miss him everyday for the rest of my life. I loved you then and I love you stiLl. And I will keep loving u till the end of MY days. To few like you grace us with your presence. You are a loss to the human race as whole and not just to us few.
