Continual healing prayers to Buddy's family. Buddy, I hope you have met up with other friends that transitioned before you. Say hello to Ricky for me. I will never forget your words of wisdom thru the years, especially our conversations regarding alternative medicines. Rest in heavenly peace.

Buddy and I were class and pledge mates at the University of Illinois in 1964. My name was Lyle Rodgers then. I wife ask me yesterday of all the people that you have lost contact with, who would you like to contact. Buddy image came to the forefront. My condolences to the family and friends of Buddy. I am in a moment of deep reflection and at a lost for words. Thank you for this message opportunity to think and feel deeply.

Buddy was truly a sweetheart. We had lots of laughs in Mr. Reffells' homeroom class senior year. At a party, he also helped me to NOT get caught (and embarrassed) playing "Wisconsin Sleeper." Do wish we had kept in touch. My prayers and blessings to his family.

Our paths crossed twice, probably without Buddy's remembrance, once before my plebe year at Navy and again at the end of my plebe year at Navy. For this young 18 year old from Texas, he as new graduate was bigger than life to me as I had just started. I often wondered over the years where his path led and am sorry to hear of his passing.
My condolences those who knew and loved him.
