Happy Birthday Steve though this will be a day late considering you are a full day ahead of us in New Zealand. Hope all is well with you and the wife and that we will see you possibly again for our 50th Graduation Anniversary on Jun 14th & Jun 15th, 2024.
Happy Birthday To You, Brother!
Mike Morelli was a guy who I knew much of my life because he lived on the same street that the Sloans lived on (Shannonhouse road). My father grew up with Mr. Sloan and they had been friends since the 1920's. I knew both Mike and his brother Rob and remember when they both worked in the restaurant business both running two different restaurants called Old Farm Beef House with one in Huntsville and one in Decatur. Mike was a great guy, full of life. I only learned of Mike's passing from his brother at Tracy Henderson's funeral which came as a shock to me. May Mike rest in peace as 2023 has been a year I have lost many of my oldest friends Mike being another of them.
Tracy Henderson was one of my 2 oldest friends with the other being Jimmy Weatherly both who I met around age 5 or 6. Tracy lived 2 houses down from me with Kay Marshall Shrout in between us. Tracy and I were as thick as mud until he went off to Korea and I went on to college. We remained friends for life and did so many things together as he was a very likeable and fun person to know. We were rascals that was for sure. He was so proud the day he had a son (chase) with his wife Angela and even prouder the day his son graduated from the University of Alabama. He is survived in death by his older brother Jay and older sister Stephanie. I will for one always miss Tracy as he will also be a large part of my life growing up. May he rest in peace.
