Mr. N always had something special to tell me and a perfect way of expressing it! I will miss his wittie humor and flawless charm! He was a one of a kind person with a huge heart. He was very kind to me and my family. I will miss him. I hope garlic will be going to a good place! He doted after that kitten so It made me chuckle! Those special stories he told me I will cherish forever! His acts of kindness I will never forget.
