CLIFFORD PERKINS

How much I loved you. You were such a part of my life from the time I was born (you were 15) until circumstances beyond my control happened and we had no contact with each other for at least 3 years. You were still on my mind and in my heart. For some reason when I started talking I nicknamed you "Buddy." That stuck for a long time. You loved pulling tricks on me. When I was very young, I had a tent at the far side of the house at Shell Creek where I read comic books, etc. One night Mom told...

Gail, Doug: Uncle Cliff was a very special person to me. I always looked forward to trips to Florida or you trips to Tennessee he always had some trick to pull on someone. One I will never forget was how the well water would turn your skin green. The next morning I had green food coloring all over me. I loved your Dad very much and will miss him as I know you will.
