I have so many wonderful memories to share for the past 30+years, that I can’t pinpoint one (or ten or twenty!). It is hard for me to imagine my life without him, but I know God has a plan. He was one of the best people I have ever known. Carol is an incredibly wonderful friend, and I know how deeply she will miss him, but she can find comfort in knowing that he is now in God’s House, continuing the work he has always done on earth. Peace to you, our dearest friend.
