"Like many, I knew Buddy since 2nd grade in 1969.
He was two days younger than me, born in 1962.
He had many exceptional talents ranging from incredible top-spin in tennis to throwing a bowling ball nearly in the air/line drive to hit the pins.
He wore Armani in the 1970s before any of us knew anything about fashion. He encouraged me to crash Glassman's summer rental on Fire Island during Labor Day weekend (1985) when guests were really not allowed, which enabled me to meet my future wife.
Until his untimely death last month, he recollected more details about the most formulative years of my life than anyone alive. And many of those details are now gone forever, therefore."
