Manuel Pino B/2/8th Cav,1st Cav 68-69 mpjr54@msn. com Fellow Army Vietnam Brother D/16th Armor, 173rd ABN Bde Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard Him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay that day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Task undone must stay that way. I found peace at the close of the day. If my parting left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with time of sorrow. I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much Good friends, good times, a loved one touched. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, but don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free!' (Author Unknown) Jul 18, 2008

Gregory Payne teetee199lib@yahoo.com Grew up together 700, Veterans Drive, The Dalles, Or., 97058, USA IN MEMORY, OF PRENTIS BARNEY BOYKIN JR., I first met Prentis, on the little league field try outs, I was the pitcher and he, was the catcher at Columbia, Little League, in Vancouver, Wa., about in 1963. I played pitcher for the Dodgers, the first year and I pitched, for the Yankees, the second year. Prentis played, for both the Yankees, one year and OK., Rubber Tires. I also attended the same schools, McLoughlin, Junior, High School and Hudson's Bay, High School, both in Vancouver, Wa.. Prentis was one, of the finest people, I've ever met and his loss, was felt through out all of Vancouver, Wa.. May he now, rest in the golden light, of eternal peace and love. Your friend, Prentis, Greg Payne Thursday, June 07, 2001

Prentis, you were always, a good friend and our dad's, worked together, for 20, years, at the VA., hospital, in Vancouver. I still can't bring myself, to go to your grave, I keep thinking, of what Bill Nelson said, to us as we got, on the plane in Portland, to go, to Oakland and our dad's, were standing, there and Bill said, "I'll see you both here, in a year." The last time, I saw you, was at Plekiu and I was assigned, to 1/30th, Arty. and you told me, to be carefull. I still remember, the look on your face, when I got, on that Chopper, boy, talk about, being scared. I do miss you, so, for people, that never knew you, I feel sorry, you had such, a BIG Heart. I called, your mom and dad, when I got back, but it was so hard, to talk, to them. I know, they are both with you, now, so I'm sure, they told you. I got married and have 2, girls, Elizabeth, named, after my mom and Amanda. I now work, for the state of Kansas, as an engineering tech.. I oversee, construction projects. I have thought of you, often, in the last 36, years and have cried, for you, many times and places. I'm proud, to have known, you and proud, to have served with you, my friend, God Bless you, forever Bobby, "A.," Brty., 1/30th, Arty., 1st, Cav.. (Airmoble) Thursday, January 15, 2004
