My heart goes out to all the family. He was such a bright light for everyone. Always a smile on his face. I'm sorry we missed his service. We didn't hear until after the fact. Please know we would have been there. A huge hug to all of you. We are keeping him and all of you in our prayers. He will be missed no doubt but His legacy lives on in those he left behind.
