What a wonderful man to have had the pleasure of working with. Made the long day go by for all of us with his stories and making sure we had pizza, which he had a little help from his wonderful wife. Thank you too. The musical "All Hands on Deck" may you look down upon and hear this great show and its music.
I will miss you and always remember your kindness, God Bless you. Thanks for the great memories.
