I met ROWDY when I worked at BLUE & GOLD auto salvage in GOOSE CREEK in the late 1990s & it looked like we were not going to be able to get along together, his demeanor was just like his nickname, but I soon found out that it was just a facade for the real give you the shirt off of his back person that he really was, I think of him often the really good times we had.
REST IN PEACE ROWDY
