To my favorite uncle I miss you so much. My ride and drinking partner I always remember it rest in peace ur free from any pain or problems 🙏🌹 good times we had
Granddaddy you will be missed love grand kids Priester family 🙏🏾
Rest well, dear Cousin. 💔🕊️ As always, I shall keep our family in prayer but extras will be sent up, for the comforting and strength of Nettie and your Legacy. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Thank you for being someone to look up to, and sharing your knowledge with me, long before we knew that we were family. You and 'Bo' Bradley, God rest his soul, took the time, to educate this ol' city gal, about running an establishment in the South, and getting folks in the door. I'll never forget that night... 💭 My 1st night, working at Bo's spot. Folks thought that you two were cornering and interrogating me but naw, y'all sat me down and schooled me, on 'running an establishment', on every trick, con move and sad story, I was going to hear that night... Just to get a free one. I had just relocated to SC, I was green and everybody was so friendly... I would have given away, all of the profits, if it were up to me. But y'all trained me up right. 💯 I took those lessons and used them, for 30+ years. You were one of the original Elders of Fairfax, who garnered my attention and respect. How Blessed was I, to find out, we were of the same bloodline. You will be fondly remembered and forever missed, Big Cuz. 💔🕊️
May Mr. Gregory's light comtinue to shine in each of you.
