I am sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Hawkins. I have so many fond memories of him from my childhood. Whether they involved Cindy, Kareem and I all piling up in the back of his white car and going to McDonalds for happy meals and heading to bicentennial park downtown, or Sunday dinners at Mrs. Fox's house. I was always made to feel like part of the family. I will be eternally grateful to all of you for that.
