Remembering our childhood sitting on the stoop at 221 Everett Street. During those hot summer days getting relief from those slush cups that we couldn´t get enough of. Lampson Park, the grassland. You grew up strong and just. When war broke out in Vietnam, you joined the toughest unit in the Army, the First Calvary Division. You were constantly in the middle of danger but by the grace of GOD you came home to us . I will remember you always. Garry Owen "Kingy" carry on.
With love and peace. Buster.
