We met as teenagers in Bklyn on Jefferson Ave. You all lived across the street from my bff. You were always cracking jokes about me being from the Bx lol. . I remember A Trbe Called Quest & Kool G Rap were your favorites then & we always had to listen to them. We'd sit on the stoop till daybreak laughing at your stories. You always had us cracking up. Life happened and we lost contact. Over 25 yrs later we would reconnect thanks to the NYCTA. Lol. You often talked about your family , all boys who looked like you.You were still funny as I remember. You always sent me bday messages & this past year was no different. I found out you were sick & then you passed I called Moe & we quickly reminisced about those early days. My friend you are at peace now. Your job here is done. God has you in his hands. We have you in our hearts. My condolences to his family and friends on your loss. My prayers are with you all during this time 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
