Boogie, you were a really good person. I appreciate you being there for me when I was struggling and homeless. I'll never forget you "sneaking" me in just to give me a place to sleep and shower.. Rest Easy Boogie I'll see you when I get there.
I just found out TODAY that Mario is gone. So so sad. I've known Mario since I was 15. We met at a skating rink. My sister and I played Foosball with him and his friend George. I was 15.m Mario told me he was 17. And he had the height so ok. So anyway, we dated back then. Then, I was invited to his birthday party, and a child ran out to greet me.. and said hi! It's Boogie's birthday today! I said, oh yea How old is Boogi 5he child said 13! OH... you can imagine my shock.. I went on to talk 5o him about it and he said he was afraid I wouldn't like him if he told me how old he was.. lol.. sounds kinda funny now..
Boogie was something else. Above all he was a good person.. a kind heart and loving. We have kept in touch over the last 15 years or so. I am so saddened to hear he passed away. Love and prayers to his loved ones.. hope this story made you laugh.. or something.. lol. I never forgot it
Rest easy cuz, see you on the other side ❤️
I just heard of Boogies passing, I'm sorry to hear, prayers for family, RIP Boogie, hope to see ya skating in the big sky, we was good friends from Stardust..🙏🏻✝️️🛐
