My name is Frank White. I was 15 when I meet Willie. I only had the privilege to know him one year as I went away to school the following year. That same year Chico graduated from Sarasota and we're off to Ohio by the time I came back home. He always had a smile to give and a friendly word. He had no reason to be nice to me. That was Chico. It's been 25 sence we saw or even talk but I sit here trying to see past the tears. You will never be forgotten my friend.

First down, and another , and another. The score is tied twenty yards from the end zone. Chico gets receives the ball. He takes a few hits along the way. He stretches out to cross the line, but he does not quite make it this time. He says give it to me again. This time he still took a few hits, but the end zone was in sight. Finally he made it. TOUCHDOWN! Chico scores the winning touchdown with 4th and one to go and only a second on the clock. He made it, he made it. He has taken claim to that end zone where he will now live peacefully and will not have to take anymore hits from anyone. Rest well Chico. To the family, may peace surround you as you say good-bye to the love of your lives.
