I'm so sorry to hear the loss of a dear friend from our class of 1976.
He was such a sweet guy. He'll be sadly missed.
"Him and I were in the hospital the same time when we were born. My mom and his mom was in the same room. I can't belive it! I've known him since birth. His b-day is the 17th of March and mine the 16th. This is to hard to believe, my heart is breaking right now!"
Love and prayers to his family!
