Growing up together was good times. Playing ball, hunting. I will never forget playing hit the rock at your house. If no one we would get a stick ( usually a tobacco stick) one would pitch the other would bat and boy if you pitched some of those rocks would just sing past the pitcher and we would just laugh. Playing basketball on dirt. Rabbit hunting with your dad. Lord knows growing up together was a blast. God Rest Your Soul My Friend You will be missed
Rest in peace my friend.
