When I was about 4 or 5 Rumel was a friend of my brother Gary. I was so inlove with the handsome Rumel. He ask me to be a flower girl at his wedding. When I got there in my new yellow dress, I was put at the end of the wedding line. I was very upset I wanted to stand next to Rumel. Great memories.

He will be missed by all his neighbors. He always kept an eye out for us around the block and we will miss him out in his yard and taking his walks.
