May you rest in peace. There will be plenty of birdies in heaven. So use to love playing golf with you so many years ago.
I helped with the craft program at the home. Speedy was my favorite guy!! He would take my hand and kiss it and sometimes was sad.
He was a good sport and would sometimes chuckle. When asked why he’d say “I never thought i’d be stringing beads.” He was a love and will be missed. I’m so glad to have known him even for a few brief years!
