Peggy,
We have been best friends for more years than we both want to admit sometimes. When you called to tell me of Buddy's passing, I felt like I had lost my bother, too. I am here when you need me. Love and prayers to you and all of your family.

Dad-
You are the greatest man I have ever had in my life. Without you I would not be. You were always there for me when i needed a rock and I could always tell you everything. I love our laughter, our tears and crazy fun moments and they will always hold a special picture show in my heart and mind forever. Thank you for your humor, and your strength. I will miss you greatly everyday of my life and love you twice as more. I will see you again one day, and cannot wait to hold your hand again...I love you so much Daddy, as I am sure you always knew!!

Pappy was fun to work with at VFA-122! He made everyday interesting in his own funny way. He was a good man and someone you could look up too! he will be missed by all of us! Be with God my friend!

Pappy made sure every day I worked with him at VFA-122 was not your normal work experience. So many times I watched him both laugh and cry at the world spinning out of control around him, only to rise above it all with his brilliant insight. He most certainly had his own way of doing things, and I will never forget those good times. Rest in peace my friend, John Johnson
