This really saddens me. First boy to ever kiss me. Many wonderful memories hanging out with the Hokey Gang. Hung with him and Cliff Mangan when we were young with the old Hokey gang. Memories are flooding back. School days from elementary thru high school. Hokey playground, down at the Lehigh river jumping off the plattie, shoppers lunch, Coplay movie theater and of course Peggies!! Thanks for your service! RIP old friend. Say hi to our old friend Cliff!
