So sad to see Punk has passed on. In our youth, our families were blended and were part of the softball scene. Worked all week, local games in the evening, traveling games all weekend. We had great times, and Punk was such a good friend to have.
Sharon, Terry, Connie, I am so sorry for all the families loss. Punk, or as I would call him some times, (Cotton), which family will understand, was such a good soul.
