This is my father and I been searching all over the world for him , My mother die and left his name in her will expressing deep regrets of not allowing me to be with my dad because of their relationship issues. Now I find him to late , I am burden with only with what if , I could have played baseball with him and my grandfather Mr.Butler . I was left to learn how to pitch a 100 mile nuckle ball in high school. Now I learn my dad played softball on a team in Washington DC. Please if any of his family or friends see this notice, please reply with stories of my dad from his time on this earth. Thank God and family....

Wow! Complete Sadness and Shock. He was such a good guy and a dear friend. We did so many things together, there was about 10 of us who shared so many wonderful moments and we all played on his Softball team called Sam´s. It was a Slow Pitch Team. He has made a wonderful Angel with his Twinkling eyes. I love you and will miss you just knowing you are no longer in this world anymore but I know you are in a better place. Love ya!

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of a dear friend of over 50 years. I can remember during the riots in Washington after Martin Luther King, Jr. passed how you came to my apartment and drove me around because you had security clearance. You were such a friend to me in my teens and 20s. I am glad we were able to reconnect on Facebook. God truly has a new angel in you.
