    Sad to learn of the passing of a friend. �Burnsy� was a charter member of teammate ballplayers who were a �band of buddies� in play and off field social activities from our teenage years into our 20s. Many memorable times filled with sports, humor, and much laughter. The McFadden brothers will never forget Burnsy and those shared experiences. Rest in peace old friend. �Wayne McFadden Cincinnatti, OH
