What can I say about my fellow bus driving friend, Mr Dick Page? I remember time when you used to tell me that my bus was dirty and needed to be wash, everyone knew that his bus was sparkling clean from the inside out. Another thing that he used to tell me was that BOY you betta stop treatign them children like that. It will come back to hurt you in days to come. He and I and many others used to work at the Charles City Recreation Center during the summer months. When I started driving, he saw me at the gas pump one day and was like Who in the world gave you a license to drive a bus. I told him the same person that gave you life and license to drive too. GOD ALMIGHT. We both laughed and got our gas. I was running late one day for the evening run and Mr Page, In all his wisdow, stopped me as he was driving another bus and asked me why I was late. We both laughed and I told him to get out of my way I had moeny to make.

MOO, Cynthia, and others, You and in my prays and will always be there.

Just know that He's in a better place. Driving God around. Picking up Saints that are ready for his Kingdom.

Be Blessed and you can call on me anytime you need me for anything

Be Blessed.
