Like Birds singing in the rain let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow. May your heart and soul find peace and comfort. I work also at compucom, his hockey stats and hair raising commentary of the previous night events is what I will miss....he told me some good jokes and he will be remembered Mr. Funny!!......
