I remember Buddy once as a child; His father and I and my brother were in the yard talking. We were adults and even though Buddy was not very old or big then he acted as if he were just as big as us; in a child eyes he was grown man hanging with the men of his family. Buddy was loved then as he was the day he left for eternal rest. Love from your uncle Rick.
