WOW... It was only a few weeks ago, I went to your house to visit. Little did we both know that would be the last time we talk. You were so happy that your son was heading to college to play football, a sport that you not only love, but love even more teaching to young kids.. Too many you were known as: John, "Cricket", James, Black, and etc... but to me you was my brother from another mother. I remember us growing up in the square attending southeast middle and central high together... Your athlete talents was so great .... We played football in middle school , high school together, sleep overs, family vacation together, and cards games at my house on a daily basic...... We would go months without talking but when we do, it would be like we never missed a day.... Most time your first words would be " How Cinderella?" (my mother) !!!!!!! I remember when I hook you and Frankie up... Who knew that hook up will result in so many years of marriage and blessed with beautiful children.... RIP MY BROTHER from another MOTHER!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
