Skip my friend, I will miss you always. You know we have been best buds since the first grade at Prestonia. We moved closer to Okolona later on, and your family did too. So we got into all kinds of experiences, some that taught us many important life skills, and being responsible to fix whatever you broke!!! For the last fifteen years approximately, we were so happy to have visit with us on Christmas. He was a world of information on all of his experiences in the service. He was kind and a real gentleman, and he will be missed greatly. Thanks for all the years. Love from Barry.
