Buddy, as we knew him at Mama Rosa's was one of our first employees. He was such a lively character. He kept us all laughing even when he was in trouble for goofing off or clowning, Buddy would laugh and give you a big bear hug so you could not fuss for long. I will always see him scrunching into that blue Chevette to take deliveries with that big grin on his face. We will miss you, go in peace. Rita and Joe
