It was 48 yrs. ago that I meet you when I became friends with Pam. And ever since then you have been like a little brother to me. RIP Buddy and we know you are not in pain any longer and are with the people that love you.

We had some good talks and got to know each other better this past year or so. I'm glad to have known you and I enjoyed watching you play in the band on those Friday and Saturday nights. You were one hell of a drummer! I'm glad I got to talk to you more at the end, as you know now there is another place much better than this one, not to mention all the pain is gone. Take care man and God Bless You!

I miss you Dad, as I sit and think about all the memories throughout the years I hate that we didn't get more time. When I taught the kids to ride a bike I remembered how you stayed outside with me until I learned to ride, you wouldn't let me give up. And also how when I was ready to drive you took me around the neighborhood to drive your car and pretended like you weren't scared of my driving! The girls miss you so much and I'm grateful that they had time to know you and make memories with you. I know you are in a better place now but you are missed, I love you Dad

It's hard to believe it's been 50 years since Pam and I took you with us to "make the drag". I've never forgotten my nickname you gave me{turkey legs}. I hope this makes you smile in heaven. Love
