i"m so sorry i just found out (BOSS) passed. BOSS is the name i used to call Mr. Pitts, he was teacher when I attended East High School 1980-1983. he the very reason I'm the man that I am today. He encouraged me to join the military and I did upon completion of my senior year. I joined the army and twenty years later i retired in 2003 at the age of 39. Boss was than just a teacher he to the students of East High he was truly a mentor, father and fried to most, i hate so bad I didn't get to attend his funeral. He will be truly missed.

Hello my name is Barbara l am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, l am so sorry to read about the loss of your love one. Death is a very sad and hard time, Jesus felt the same way that's why he resurrected Lazarus back to the earth. Please read John 5:28,29 here it speaks about the time when we will see our dead love ones again right here on earth. What a wonderful time this will be. If you would like to know more about this wonderful hope please visit our website at JW. Org. Thank You

Mr. Pitts was the coolest out of all my childhood friends fathers. He gave me advise on many of occasions and I am a better man for having known him.
