Miss you and your whole family well maybe not the cats they never liked me. God Bless brother

I thought I would never have the chance to Thank You for my best childhood memories fishing with you and your Father,Brother and Uncle. Every time I ride by the old fishing hole I always see you and your family there having a great time together and I hear your Father's voice till today saying" Move over an' let me get that fish out in front of you over there!" and sure enough He would. I'm happy that I had those times with you and happier still that I talked to you one more time,I will miss you;but never forget you.For now I will always see you there at the old fishing hole with your Dad and Uncle every time I ride by.

Rest in peace my good friend. Childhood memories that seem a lifetime ago are still the most vivid. I'll never forget the basketball games, track meets and gridiron battles we shared together side by side. All the fun we had at the venison dinners your father cooked for "all of his boys". Even though I live a thousand miles away and we did'nt get together very often, I always knew I would see you at a high school reunion from time to time. Shame on me for taking for granted the precious time God gives us here on earth and not staying in touch with you more often. I'll miss you.
