I had the pleasure of being a fraternity brother of Bookers' back in the day. I haven't seen him in a very long time, but will always remember him as a good man who was always upbeat and fun to be around. He was special to all of us. IAGT

I knew Booker from the Monopole and years later I worked with his wife, Donna at Carburs, a LONG time ago. Booker always smiled and had a deep love for Donna. They welcomed me into their home when I was hungry and they fed me. They are good people. Donne, my heart breaks for you and all whom Booker has left behind. Find peace where you may. Booker is no longer where he once was, but now he will always be with you. Be blessed.

I want to offer my condolences to Donna. As you know you married a wonderful human being. One of the kindest people I have ever met. He was my fraternity brother and fellow teammate on the Plattsburgh football team. Who could ever forget that smile. It's been almost 40 years since I have seen Booker but seeing that photo, I could have spotted him a mile away. You will be missed but not forgotten. IAGT You will be in our hearts forever. Dales 74

I was truly saddened to hear of Booker's passing!I remember Booker as described in the Obit today! How he smiled his way into my heart!Showing up to play baseball with us at Memmorial field way back when.. Obviously a "Ballplayer"!his wounded Knee prevented his comeback but his "SPIRIT"Was ever present!. As a musician I looked forward to Booker taking the stage at JC,s Jazz Club and His Announceing " Ladies and gentlemen,The Blind Pig Blues Band" It brought chills to my spine, I Will always remember Booker as The Man!It has been truly a pleasure to have been a small part of his life!Ihave to work out of town friday morning, but I will try to make it to the monopole upon my return. Thank you Booker for your warmth and inspiation. Kenny..

Dear Donna, please accept my deep sympathy for your loss of such a good man. I first met booker during early football practice, became friends and was honored to be teammates and later privileged to have him as a fraternity borther. Never heard a bad word spoken of him, had that special personality that made him stand out. He will be missed by many and remembered always. RIP Thomas---

Donna, Booker will be missed dearly. He was a great friend who always enjoyed getting together and having a cold one. Have great memories of PSUC with Booker and Lake George with the two of you. I am so happy I got to see Booker a couple of weeks ago and give him a hug. Our prayers are with you.

I sure hope you didn't suffer much Booker. We had so much fun and laughs whether in P'burgh or camping in Lake George. Never forget the Homecoming parade and the white car and sayings you had. You are already missed. God Bless Donna and family.

Booker was one of a kind. He always greeted my husband with a huge smile and Hi Doc whenever he saw him. I remember him from PSUC days, always had that smile and no matter how bad your day was, he made it better somehow. My prayers and thoughts are with his family
