My thoughts and prayers are with you. I used to talk to him when I was cashier at the grocery store in Winchester. He would always tell me that he was related to my mother (Carol Dobey) and then talk about his kids in California. He would always spill his coffee at the register as he was visiting. I really enjoyed seeing him everyday and even cleaning up his coffee. I am sad to hear of his passing, he will be missed.
