Duke "Buddy" was my step brother, even though we were not raised together he did come to see us on special occasions and visited often. We all loved you because we all shared the same Dad, Conrad Thompson, I'm sure you two are having a good time in heaven, you know daddy will talk your ears off. Love you... Sis Connie

I'm very sorry for your loss, Mr. and Mrs. Darrah, Jeff, and Jennifer. (David Darrah was a customer of mine in the 80's, when he owned the Crown on Manchester Expressway. Jeff was briefly married to someone I used to know. Jennifer and my oldest daughter played together as babies.)
