He looked so much like Clarence. Not that many people can grow that kind of mustache! It really goes to show you how long it had been since I had seen my cousin.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my cousin. My name is Cheryl Faulkner, I am the daughter of "Biggie" Wilford Faulkner from Chicago, IL. I am currently living in Atlanta, GA and just heard the news yesterday. I only remeber meeting them once or twice at my grandmother's house, Ella Pelham Faulkner in Salem, OH. I wish I was able to attend and express my feelings in person. I can be reached at 404-449-6320 or [email protected]. I have not been in touch with this side in a while. I will keep you in my prayers. He looked a lot like his father to me. I am so sory for your loss.
