Guestbook

  1. Mr. T, Buster was my 2nd dad growing up. Between discipline, teaching and joking with me and Neal (my brother from another mother, Mrs Judy) he directed us through our early years running the streets of High Rock. A man of men that I'll always hold in high regard. Honest as the day is long and the rock of his family. Just know his smile and laugh will live on forever in the memories of so many. My prayers 🙏 are with Mrs Judy, Phyllis, Neal and all his "grands" as y'all navigate through this phase of life. May God rest his soul, until we meet again.
