I just found this on the internet...I was a childhood friend of Gloster. My parents helped his parents when his father was so ill. My Dad, James Marlon Wicker would sit with Mr Tisdale while my mom took Mrs Tisdale grocery shopping or whatever she needed to do. I ended up living in the same upstairs apartment on Utley Rd in Flint when I was a single mom. I have fond memories of Gloster and his family. We went to school together at Ainsworth too. I know Gloster knew the Lord as his Savior and we will meet again someday!
