I am sorry for your loss. He meant a lot to me and those who worked with him. He always had a smile on his face and was always kind to those he worked with. He always had a great scene of humor. I remember we got one of those new toys with a baby bib and we took pictures of that on. He touched us all and it’s sad that some one that great has to leave this world so early.
Norm and Joan, I want to offer my condolences for this untimely and tragic loss.
Peace.
