My condolences to the Cullen family. Joe (Buddy) was like a brother to my husband, Harry (Junior) O'Leary. They had many good times together.

Gary, Your Dad was my Boys Club football coach when I was 10 or 11. He didn't sat alot and didn't yell but you did listen when he spoke. A good coach and a nice man. I'm sorry for your loss.
