Uncle buddy I can't believe that your gone I just found out today when I was looking up my dad's obituary and yours came up next to my dad's in the search on Google and it deeply saddens me to find out that you my favorite uncle are now gone I will miss the days when I would go to your house in carnation and eat the fruit off the trees and run around in the yard with your dog and make homemade ice cream with you and auntie Clara and I won't ever forget that time you and auntie Clara got me a hula skirt and coconut bra and I put them on and was running around on the deck doing (or trying to do) the hula dance (what I would call a horrible attempt at the hula dance lol) but you guys though it was cute. I will miss you and I love you so much I know your watching over me I now have 3 of the best guardian angels in the whole world my mommy my daddy and my favorite uncle. But I would rather have all 3 of you here with me than have you all watching over me. I would do anything for just even one more day with all of you no trade my life in a second for any of yours just for you to live a little bit longer at least cuz you guys we're such great people all three of you and I can't wait to see you guys again on the other side and give you all a big hug and a big kiss you will be missed but never forgotten..

I am so sorry to hear about Odus. From 1989-1991 we went to RTVI together and were close friends. I just now made a facebook account and he's the first person I searched for. My name at the time was Faith Holmes. My sincere condolences.
