Obituary of Booker T. Armstrong Jr.

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.

I'm following the path God laid for me,

I took his hand when I heard him call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day to

laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way.

I found that place at the close of day.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me.

God wanted me now, he set me free.

The funeral will be held 11:00 AM on Friday, November 1 at Greenwood Crematory Chapel, 500 - 25th Street, Brooklyn.
