My condolences to Pee Wee’s family. I have known Pee Wee all my life. He was one of my dads best friends. They worked together at Armstrong. They loved to play cards with Earl Boots, Louie Dennison, Jackie Cherry. He helped me play the card game. He was a very funny person, but if you needed help he was there for you. Rest well my friend, you earned it. Much love Pee Wee, Fly High…….🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
