To the family of Sly. I served with Derico in Barber Point Hawaii from 1972 to 1975. We were both loadmaster of the C-118. Sly was funny and personable and a good athlete, as we played together on our championship football team. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to you all during this time of bereavement. My prayers are with you.

To the family and everyone who knew Sly. "Forever in our hearts." He was a good friend-caring, kind, and so much fun to be around. Sly knew everyone in Sweetwater. He was like the Ambassador of Sweetwater. We were neighbors for over 44 years and he will be deeply and greatly missed.
With Deepest Condolences and Love,
Lawrence & Arlinda Rahim and family
