    Been some time since we last talked but I’ll always remember you. Your mom was my mom and mine was yours, we spent so much time together from 1st grade on. Sunday mornings delivering papers and our stop at Honey Fluff Bakery on our way back to your basement home. Basketball in the alley until midnight and trying to get your big fingers to play the right notes on the guitar. We dated sister at the end of Oakley St. I miss you and our days together ❤

    I met you in the 1st grade and spent the next 12 years as your brother from another mother. I called your mother mom and you did the same to mine. The days we spent in your basement room and delivering Sunday papers with a stop at Honey Fluff before heading back home. The days and nights of basketball in the alley until midnight. We had crushes on sisters that lived on Oakley St. The neighborhood walks with Bruce Meredith and Johnny Flatt. Your Firebird engine swap was a fun time of learning. It has been several years since I talked to you last, and I wish I could have done that more often. You sir, will be greatly missed.
