Rest in Peace, Jean.

I already miss you "welcoming me home" from work, from across the street when you saw me. You were the only one who did. I know you're in a happier place now.

My time working at Verizon with Jeano was always a pleasure. He was always so
Happy and upbeat. Constant tunes from the radio, cassette or 8 track and no one could drum the windows, radiator or file cabinets better. A good friend and music aficionado. Good times. God Bless my friend.
