    This is my childhood friend when we were 13 years old in 1966. Same school and classes, hung out after school. We drifted apart over the years and never saw each other. I heard about it back in 1994 and couldn't believe it. I hate it. When I think about him I can see him smiling and laughing when we were kids.

      I am close to the family and the wife was wrongfully accused it was a Black Police officer that later was arrested for a death of another officer. Justice was not served !!! The family mourns his death eveyday its a was very sad!
