buddy memories

57 years ago God honored our family with temporary custody of a very special gift; our brother Buddy

Buddy boarded the 12:45am heaven express 2-25-2010 for his return to heaven

Thanks to the staffs at UPMC Passavant and Gateway Hospice 877-878-2244 for helping facilitate the transition from Buddy’s earthly life to his everlasting one in heaven

Thank you God for the joy Buddy has brought to our lives

Please welcome him home providing all the pleasures heaven will allow

Though we will miss him much, we appreciate your faith in us to treasure & nurture your gift.

We hope you feel we did not betray that trust

We will long treasure the memories of Buddy’s smile and the innocence he represented

We are proud of our parents’ decision not to follow doctors recommendations at his birth, diagnosed as mentally retarded, to “put him in an institution he won’t amount to anything”

How wrong they were!

Among other Buddy memories:

The way he could instantly recall birthday and phone numbers while most of us needed address books

Recognizing our memory limitations, he never missed an opportunity to inform us of his special day, February 16, and the always helpful gift suggestionsJ

Using public transportation to go to work at the Southside Goodwill store

The awards he won while working at Goodwill and his pride when receiving his paycheck

Riding a bicycle

His ability to reconstruct intricate jigsaw puzzles

The word find puzzles he loved

Latch hook rugs created as his gift to friends & family

And of course BINGO!! and bowling

We ask that you reunite him with his parents and sister Roey as well as all the members of our related and extended family

As you know God, Elvis has been a member of our family for over 50 years. Recently we sought to recreate the excitement and awe of an Elvis performance especially for Buddy with the help of THE MAGIC OF ELVIS (412) 331-5897) based on Don's performance and Buddy's reaction we succeeded

Please see to it that Buddy meets Elvis on his return to heaven

Thank you thankyouverymuch for the gift of Buddy McCafferty
