Never knew anyone who could make me laugh at some of the silliest, almost unfunny things, like Buddy could. I loved ya dude and Fairdale won't be the same. Janet, my prayers go out to you and the rest of the family. Stephanie, two people couldn't be further unalike as you and Buddy, but, that's a compliment to you both. My heart hurts with you. We're gonna miss you hero! Larry "B"
