View all 31 ReflectionsDear Uncle Buddy: What I cherished most about you was your deep love for children. You always rushed to meet each new addition to our family, eager to welcome them with open arms. I remember you driving the school bus to away games, always ensuring everyone was safe and cared for. Being with you made me feel so loved and protected. I’ll never forget how handsome you looked in your FHP uniform, standing tall and proud. My love for you only grew stronger over the years. The highway renaming in your honor fills our hearts with pride, a testament to the incredible person you were. Rest in peace, my beloved Uncle.
