    Me and Buddy shared stories of our passion for Sports but mostly we talked about the Washington Redskins (Commanders). I remember when I was living in Richmond Virginia I would come down to the Norfolk area to visit and whenever I saw Buddy we would share the latest and greatest news of our favorite Football Team and because I volunteered at the training camp I would have some new information to share with my friend Buddy. I’m going to miss our talks and our friendship. I want to offer my condolences to the Duke Family and to his wife Deborah and Lisa Garcia. My Prayers are with you all during this time.

    In loving memory of a wonderful person. My brother Butch and I would come to Norfolk to visit family and we would get Buddy and head to the fishing pier. Buddy was so much fun to hang out with and great to talk with. We will love you and miss you always. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
