I'm so sorry to hear of your loss of Buddy. I was at Jackson St with him when I was young. I know you're hurting now and will for some time but God will bless you with peace over time and good memories to replace the pain you have now.
God Bless you,
Marty
My heart grieves for you all during this hard time of losing your precious Buddy. I just recieved the email through Phillys Howe Randolph. It has been such a long time, but I remember so clearly Buddy's great zest for life. What a joy he was! We lost our irreplaceable "Shack" last July 2nd, so, I identify with what it is to lose an extraordinary man and, at the same time, feel so blessed to have had him in our lives.
May God bless you all and give you strength....Jo
Bless you all as you mourn your husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend.
