        A brief candle, both ends burning...

        An endless mile, a bus wheel turning,

        A friend to share the lonesome times,

        A handshake and a sip of wine....

        So say it loud and let it ring that we're all part of everything,

        The present, future, and the past,

        Fly on proud bird, your free at last....

God Speed old friend, we miss you already.

 My mom saw this in the paper and told me about it. It's a very sad day. Soulbelly was a close friend growing up. This will stay on my mine for some time. Rest in peace...

I was sorry to her about soulbelly we were close in high school I was talking to him  about two mounths ago at wilco in pulaski he looked well and seamed to have a great out look on things , he said he was having problems with his left foot.I guess we talked for half hour or so ,mostly about football ,he was a great defenceive  guard I guess it would be about this time of year we would be going through those two adays. I still remember the inner tube he had around his belly tring to lose weight so he could get quicker out of his four point stance (we both had a big laugh out of that). Those days were so long ago but in my mind they were just hours ago just like you old friend ill miss you but you will always be there rest in peace god speed and god bless your family in their lose.    James Rupe

There are so many memories of Him as being a part of my childhood. I do remember one big thing, It was always good to have Him on your backyard Football team.
