Dear Terry, Fred, Greg and Family,
I am beyond sad to hear this news.
MY DEEPEST DEEPEST HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES.
There are so many memories of this Wonderful Man growing up. One I remember vividly, Buddy taking me to pick up our German Shepard Pepper that I found through an ad for $15 as that was Dads max price. I was so excited to go get this puppy but Dad was still at work so Buddy said he’d drive me. There are so many beautiful memories of our families together. Sending LOVE,HUGE HUGS and PRAYERS.
RIP Buddy XOXO
