Most Recent Reflection
View all 24 Reflections'Dick' was good friends with my grandparents and family. He would come in the back door of their bar to bring my brother and I candy once in awhile when we were kids. Just to be a cool guy. My family was devastated by his murder. My grandpa will certainly never forget him and neither will I.
