Grew up with Stacy in NL. We played a lot of ball together. He always treated me great as I was the youngest guy playing. Great memories at Calkins Park

I was one of the fortunate person who received my paper daily from Stacy. He took it upon himself to put the paper where it was easy for me to get to and many times took.the time to bring my garbage receptacle to my back door. He was a person that will be missed, my deepest sympathy
