My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. He was a very nice neighbor. He was always so very proud of how thoughtful and helpful his son, Ricky, and daughter, Cindy were to him. He felt very fortunate. I pray that God comforts his family and friends with sweet memories during this difficult time of loss. He will be missed!
