Bufford and myself talked while serving in Iraq in 2007 about home and how we both used to go to the big house in Bay City and we also talked about how we were going to hang out when we got home. He will be greatly missed as a friend and a fellow marine, there is not one day where he dosen't cross my mind and the talks we used to have.
