To the family of "Bug-Eye, I wish to extend my deepest sympathies. He and I went to school together at Atkins High, we always knew that he would get on the bus every morning and make everyone laugh. He had a way of bringing a SMILE to everybody's face and his sense of humour made him a very likeable person. May God keep you in your time of sorrow.
