Honey Bee, will always be remembered with happy thoughts. He was kind, sweet, and hilarious. I am so thankful that I saw him at the gas station several months ago and I hadn't seen him in over 20 years, still the same guy, just older. RIP, old friend and you will be remembered by all who knew you❤

To the Family, I am deeply sorry to hear about the death of "Honeybee". I will always remember the laughter we shared. I will never forget the many times he would hold up traffic at the red light trying to get my attention to say hello. You are in my thoughts.
