May God bless you and your family Mimi. He was so brave through his battle. The times I did have to talk or meet him for breakfast, he always had that smile on his face and never lost that subtle sense of humor. He never had a bad word for anyone or anything. He taught and showed me to be brave. He carried his cross and is in Heaven.
