    I grew up next to the Burns family in Warren. I knew Tommy, Billy and Buster growing up. Mr and Mrs Burns were the best. I have and will keep the fond memories of the whole family. I work with Cathy at RWU and just the memories and talks about the old days on Ridgeway Drive are the best. I am sorry for the loss of Buster. He was very good to me as a kid .
