Gregg and Cheryl,
Buddy was a long time friend we met on January 15 1967, the day that I began working for Lee Wilson & Co.
We hunted together many times and had some fun times.
Age comes on fast and we tend to drift apart as friends. I have many fond memories that I will cherish as time goes by.

Greg,

Sending prayers and hugs to you and your family. I got to know your dad a long time ago, before I started teaching when I worked for LWC - Seed and Chemical. Such a sweet man.
