May he rest in peace. I
remember "Binky" from the neighborhood and my nine years at Colton School. I don't remember him at Nicholls or after I left High School. I also knew his sister, Anna, at the time. I have forgotten many things in the interim period, but I have a good memory of his smile and a kind, friendly, caring schoolmate. After reading some of the other entries, I see that this is the personality that he projected for the rest of his life. His family and his later friends were truly blessed to have him in their lives. Please accept my sympathy. I will remember him and you in my prayers.

Hi Marie - My deepest condolences on your loss. Binky was "one of a kind". Though we lost touch over the years I will always have the fondest memories of those days when I worked with Binky, Billy, and Pudgy. I pray the Lord will send the Holy Spirit to provide comfort and peace to you and yours during this hard time.

Sincerely,
Curtis Haven
