Childhood Friend
My deepest sympathy to the family of J.B. He definitely was an “old Buckhorn Boy”. I have many wondeful memories of him and his family, especially his siblings, visiting in our neighborhood and all the kids would gather to play various games of ball and many times went on hayrides. May you each experience the presence of our Great Comforter as He walks with you along this path in life called grief.
J. B. (Buckhorn Boy)
J. B. was a person who everyone like, forever, that said, he was an “old “Buckhorn Boy”, the best of the best. My condolences to ALL the family and MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL. Rest “in Peace” my friend.
