I dated Buddy back in the early 70's , we dated maybe two months. We had a good time hanging out with friends at the Roaring 20's, Where he used to be a bouncer at the door. He lived on the east end and so did I. The last time I saw him he was working at the Burger King? In South Charleston around 1978, I had left the area after that. Rest in Peace Buddy!

I remember Buddy when I was a child. His mom used to babysit me and my sister Rita. I was just thinking about him this past Friday while sitting in Shoney's an the Blvd. I believe at one time he worked there. To the family prayers and good memories. Carol McClish Fields
