So shocking to hear this terrible news! He was a wonderful and funny guy who left an impression wherever he went. Gertie, our hearts go out to you and the family and please know you will be in our thoughts and prayers at this dark time in your lives. His wonderful personality and giving nature will be missed. He helped us with our boat years ago and we have never forgotten that. Because of medical issues and this terrible coronavirus pandemic we will not be able to attend the service but know we will be thinking of the family! Love to all....
