I have many wonderful memories from our years of going to school together and playing football at Fairforest High School. He was such a great athlete. Later years were enjoyable as we shared meals with our ole friends and classmates. He was truly a man of honor and integrity. He will be remembered and missed by many for years to come. My sympathy is extended to the family.
