So very sorry to hear of his passing. I haven't seen him in over 15 years, but I remember him most for his kindness way back in the mid-70's. What a great guy. He sure made a difference.

Gone,but never forgotten. Clarley was a class act. He never met a stranger. He treated everyone like family. Forever in our hearts and prayers.

I spent quite a few younger years with Charlie. Me, Tim Pitts, Keith Brandenburg and Kenny Jones terrorized the town with our hot rods and care-free life style. Now they are all gone except me to recall the long summers. See you all soon enough. Save me a seat at the bar.....

I am so grieved by Buster's passing. My cousin was the best person ~ so loving and caring! He would give you the shirt off his back! He will be missed by so many. I will miss his sense of humor and his laughter. He was my big teddy bear! I look forward to the day when we see each other again. Always in my heart and thoughts.
Love, Chee Chee (Egelston) Martin
