Huck and I grew up in the same neighborhood a small town of Greenville Michigan. Outdoor sports were all we had back then and baseball football tags were some of the wonderful things we grew up with! One of the only two girls in that neighborhood . Huck always picked me. He was and always had an been an exceptional young man. My thoughts and prayers are with the family in this sad time
