Brotherhood
Not by blood but by soul
We have the bond that will hold
The test of time the years that pass
A friendship that will forever last
It doesn't take blood relation
To make a brotherhoods creation
It just takes that spark of giving
To one another in the lives we are living
That spark we had with our fellows
Was set to flame a friendship, blown by the bellows
Of trust, honor, and sacrifice
To those we kept close in our lives
When I think of you, I think of Freddy and Jeff
Of Shell, Ky, and I
Six strangers in the beginning who came together
To challenge all of our endeavors
What we accomplished in the end
Was the true meaning of, what is a friend
A friend is someone who changes you for the better
A friend is there in stormy weather
A friend is always, and is true
No matter where life takes you.
So my brother you are not forgot
And we all miss you a lot
As all do, who came to see
What all of us knew, that you would be.
A great friend and a brother
A good son to your dad and mother
When the time comes we'll see you again
Josh Dykes... Our brother, Our friend..
In Loving Memory of William Joseph Dykes ( Josh )

Here is a copy of Josh's obituary cut out from the paper many years ago. He & I were almost like brothers. We hung out a lot since we lived close together in Cary. I remember riding in the Surplus Army Jeep he had & he & I riding all over in Cary on our ATVs, killing rattlers, skinning them & drying the skins. I spent more than a few days at his house with Phyllis, Quincy and him, & he came to a few of my family's get-together, including one of my grandfather T.E.'s birthday parties at my aunt JoAnne Peche's house. He is definitely missed.
