To Robbie, Markie and Tiny I send by sincere condolences. When I think about those times growing up and spending part of my summers at your house Robert always made those times so much fun. I will always remember the summer when I was 12 years old and he taught how to drive. All those fun times I will cherish. Love you Robert James from Shevin Bevin.

Hey Dad, its Dinker. I remember as a child, when youd leave home, youd tell me I was the man of the house. Even though I was only a boy, I took those words seriously. I didnt want to let you down. As I got older, wed sometimes clash. But there was always deep love and respect. You werent always the perfect father. But you were always the perfect father for me. You were the man I needed to make me the man that I am. You taught me what a man should be but also what he should not be. Thank you for those and so many other lessons. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for naming me after you and allowing me to carry your name. Ive always carried it with the utmost pride. I will carry it with even more now.
Rest In Peace and Power, sir. I love you.
