Rest in Peace, Buddy. You leave me memories of your kindness and gentleness. I'm fortunate to be a cousin who has known you my entire life. You will be forever missed, but I know that I'll see you one day, along with all those that we hold dear to our hearts.

Oh Buddy!!! What are we supposed to do without you here in our life. You were our go- to for any problem. The laughs were hysterical, and the fun we had was sincere.
