Rickey Oates

Tony was a good class mate if you knew him well. I started to know this at middle school 7th grade. we played on the football team and were unbeaten that year. Coach Roberts was our head football coach. I can remember those early saturday mornings when Tony and i would walk to school, all of our games were played on saturday's. Tony at times would invite me to his home for lunch or dinner, with that being said i will always be thankful for a friend like Tony. It is very tragic how he lost his life so young but i will never forget him! RIP my friend.                                                                                                                                        Rickey oates
