Spoonie will be missed, but we have our memories of him in our hearts. I remember when we were going to Boykin school, we always had talent shows in the auditorium. Frankie and Gangster Greg were very talented. Those brothers could dance. They went up against Kim Hill, and Loretta Smith that day, and lost, but we guys thought they won hands down. I think the girls won because the voters swayed more to the females side than the males Lol! But they all put on a great performance. It was just amazing how gifted Frankie and Gangster were. Everyone looked up to these guys and gave them much respect. Spoonie was a ladies man. he had swag and charisma. My sincere deepest condolences goes out to his family. May GOD comfort keep and strengthen you all during this difficult time is my prayer, Love your friend and brother Rolahac
