I'm sorry to hear of the loss of this brother.

The last time I spoke to him was just before he was shipped of to military service.

I saw him at Ms. Gracie Mae's Life Celebration, but lost track of him in a crowd.

We were 9 years apart and our moms were the best of friends. I periodically stayed in touch with him mom, but wasn't to make her funeral, as I was living 8n California and experiencing a dry cycle of life.

My heart go out to Gail who I knew and all my fond memories of Duval and Judeau streets.

That fig tree and playing chase or tag.

Condolences

My condolences to the family for their loss. I am going to miss my friend ( Bush) he was a joy to be around, no matter what you were going through Bush could make you laugh he was so funny. He loved to play racketball, when he would lose it didn´t matter it was a joy to be out there. One time I fell on the court, he said to me get up you ain´t hurt play ball I´m sure going to miss my friend. I won´t mention all those crazy,wonderful days at the P.O.
