Hamp was one of the first brothers I met at public service. We became friends right away.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

When I was 8 we moved to Walnut Hills, LUCKY was the first person I met and I have so many wonderful memories. While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him at the GATE .

Bro. Hamp was not only my Masonic brother. He was my dear friend who always cheered me up whenever he called. Lucky had a swagger about him like no other. He was the definition of cool. Love you my brother!!

But it worked out well for him as he never walked with a limp. He was the type that wanted everything to be real. He did not like fake jewelry at all.
He also had a hand in learning plumbing from Mr. Willie James Then he got a job which supposed to be a
summer job at the golf course learning how to install the irrigation systems at the golf course.
I also taught him how to dance and he would tell
he did this all himself that's ok we learned to dance at the same time. It was fun!
So many things that happened, But for sure he loved to cook and he was excellent at that. Why because he spent so much time in the kitchen with Mama. He did make the best macaroni and cheese. He was also an excellent baker. He sold pies and BBQ
often just because.
There are many story in the Naked City He was many of them!! Rest in Peace my brother
Your sister,

To my brother who was a funny creative person who always worked to have the things he wanted. In 1953 I got a brother . He was truly my brother. He could thinking up things for us to do which usually end in trouble for both of us from Mama.
Going to school had to get there on time so I had to convenience him to walk faster so we would not be late. I had to be on time as i had an on time teacher. He would just walk slower. I would inform Mama of this but he still walked. In school for snack you got milk and graham crackers, the milk made him sick so he would though up and be sent home.
He truly did not inform the teacher I can't drink milk he caught on and soon every day going home because of getting sick clothing ruined so no ore school that day.
strange how he could get home.
He was the only Black child who had freckles at Cummins
Then the hospital stays started I had the hip problem 1st then he had the exact samje thing .Because I told MAMA HIS HIPS HURT! He was not happy
