Carlos "Boogie" McGruder was like a brother to me. I was so excited when we reunited on facebook after all of these years. I am glad and proud of all of his accomplishments!!! He has a wonderful family and beautiful wife and children. I will miss him dearly but will forever carry him in my heart. My heart goes out to all of his family and friends. He was one of the most caring and loving person I have ever known. Love you always Boogie. Heather
