Rest in peace, my friend. I really enjoyed getting to know you this summer. You were at the Summer Arts Festival every single night! I remember looking for you when I would show up and you were always there, greeting folks and just being your usual uplifting self. I am stunned. I will pray for peace for your children and family. You were a blessing to the Springfield community, and I am grateful to have met you.
