One of my favorite people I have known. He gave me so much guidance as teenager. He defined the word "cool". I enjoyed seeing him again recently and regret that I missed the chance to see him again recently. We'll miss doing the steak we talked about ... Prayers for Sue and the family. Seventy years was not enough, but I know he's working on something really big in heaven today.
