On Sunday evening, our friend/family from Kadena gave us a call to inform us that another friend had lost his life late Friday, early Saturday in Washington D.C. riding his motorcycle, head on with a semi. We were saddened and were in shock to hear this. While being in Okinawa for 4 years, we had made great friends, that we now call our Oki family. When being overseas and being so far away from your real family you develop your own family in the military throughout all the bases you are brought to. He was a good friend and we were ALL sad to lose him. We shed tears for him, his son, his family, and his friends. He was closest to Charles, his best friend, in Kadena... it was hard to hear from him talking about how he just talk to him the week prior and how they had made plans to visit each other in the next couple months and hang out like the old times. As the years have passed, we've all moved to different places once again... and hearing something like this makes us so mad we're not closer to each other. Michael took it hard, and as did i... i couldn't stop crying... i still couldn't believe it... but in time our hearts will heal. Now it's time to cherish and remember all the great memories. You always be remembered Lamar Robinson!! May you rest in peace!! We love you!!
He is the one in the green shirt in the picture...
Please... if you have a motorcyle, ride one... whatever ... PLEASE RIDE CAUTIOUSLY!! BE CAREFUL!!!
