I was going through my face book and under We Love LB I found a familiar name. So when I read what it was about I was shocked. Went to high school with and he was funny. His favorite line with me was "So, where is Sonny?" He would say that because my name is Cher. He was Pete the "Greek" Toulios. I wish I got to know him while he was the owner of Lil devils.
