My childhood friend from the old neighborhood. We used to hang out during and after our high school years. Lost contact after the move to Arkansas. Great guy and good friend. You will be missed. Rest in peace.
Cindy and family my thoughts and prayers will be with you tomorrow. Loved all the fun times with you and Poncho. We had a Celebration of life for Pat a week ago. I know it is hard losing your soulmate. Poncho and Pat are up there having a good time now.
