Sincere condolences to Vicki and family. May God comfort you all at this time. Good memories of when we lived on Garfield, and Your dad was our precinct committeeman.

1st of all, I would like to extend my most deepest, sincerest heartfelt condolences and prayers to Vickie McDuffie & the entire McDuffie family.
There are so many great memories from the neighborhood that we all shared through the years. One of my most fondest memories is, whenever I would run into Bay Bruh, it was always a positive conversation Of brotherly love. He was truly a mentor of the younger ones in our neighborhood. He was also one of the most humblest people I had ever met to this very day. I saw him a few months ago while visiting Gary near his place of residence. We talked briefly but it was as refreshing as when we talked many years ago. He still had that positive spark of mentorship, the realness of brotherly love and that Bay Bruh smile! It really feels like I'm saying farewell until later to a Family member. But in all honesty, our neighborhood was like one big Family. We all had love for each other regardless of our differences. Bay Bruh was one of my big brothers. And I say that proudly.
Rest Peacefully in Heaven my dear Spiritual Brother . "Til we meet again."
Your Spiritual Brother,
Junei
