I remember Paul and Buck living on Creek Drive and the many days we played baseball, football, and basketball with Jerry and Mike Lewis. We all had fun running the creek behide the house of Paul and Buck, throwing water ballons at cars on Long Point, and the many wonderful things we did back in the day. RIP my friend.
