I am so sorry about Peanut and not being there with ya’ll. I hope ya’ll know that I loved him like one of my brothers. I enjoyed all the time that we got to spend together and am going to really miss the old days when we messed with Dad and Harold when we were camping. If there is anything we can do for ya’ll don’t hesitate to call. I’ll see ya’ll when I get back in a couple of months. You’ll be in our prayers.

Boozer and Barbara,
This is Danny Sharpe (from Scronse),,I found out today. I just saw Peanut in September. Talked forever. Got a radiator fixed and when I picked up Boozer wouldnt accept any money. For almost 5 years Peanut was just about my best friend. We grow up, move away, have kids etc. We all never stop being friends, life just pulls us away sometimes. We should call old friends and tell them how we feel. My heart sank when I saw the paper and I cried. I have shared a lot of old stories of Peanut with my kids. My wife knew him as well. He invited me to bring them over and lets go fishing when I saw him last. I wish I had. I dont know what to say other than I loved Peanut and lets all remember he is in a better place. I am sure he would want us all to be right with God so we can insure we see him again one day. May we all strive to make sure we see Peanut again by living our life according to Gods will. Bless you all.
