Tanner Pilcher, Francis Robert Pilcher, his wife Allison Perkinson Pilcher and son Owen Bradley, all of Richmond, and Raleigh Colston Pilcher of Williamsburg.

It is with great sadness that I read of Bootie's passing. My parents and his were good friends and though I haven't seen Bootie since the early 90s, I've always thought of him as someone I have been privileged to know. May you know God's love and peace in the days ahead.
