In loving memory of a wonderful man.
Snooky cared about the neighborhood and the families that lived there. He started a Teen Club that kept kids off the street with somewhere to go with something to do. His positive influence, guidance and caring helped shape many youths in Bridgeport. He is irreplaceable and will be missed by many. Thank you for being a huge part of my teen age years ♥
