He lite up the room with his smile and laughter! He never knew a stranger and welcomed me and my family the first time we met him at a birthday party not so long ago and I had the pleasure of caring for him, then having coffee at speedway early in the wee hours of the morning with his puppies. I remember every hug and kiss on the cheek! He will be forever in my heart!
