I had the pleasure of working with Sarge in the Hbg. Post Office before going back to Mt. Vernon, N.Y. On Fridays a lot of the Brother's would go to the Bar & fellowship. Sarge was always a even tempered guy. Occasionally we would play basketball on Saturday's. Very nice guy and from Steeltown, like me. He will be missed.
