I’ll always remember him as one of the great porch monkeys. Along side my dad laughing at us kids being kids. Whenever I think of my childhood he’ll be there

I met Donny & Vickey and the girls in 1983 when I moved into 732 W Granite. He always seemed to be a happy man. My heart goes out to all three girls, Gina, Paula, & Tracy. So sad for your loss. Francie Reed
