Buddy Young you were definitely my hero .I love you forever and a day. I had been gone quiet a few years and I hadn't been bk long and saw you at Wrights grocery.you walked by the car I was in and you stared but kept walking.i decided I'd just go in and ask who you were.i asked and you looked at me and said yes I know who I am.i proceeded telling you don't ever walk past me again and not speak or you'll lose your superman cape! It was a big laugh but he kept that status and I see his precious smile right now everywhere! I love you my cousin !
