I just found out from a friend who told me he passed away. The last time i spoke with him was latter part of 2011 around September talking about old times at Harbor View House. My mother taught him when he first completed his schooling. She was the Director of Nursing and i was her Assistant Director of Nursing and had many years of fun and learning till her passing in 1999. I loved him and will truely miss him. So sad to hear. Love, June H.
