Over the years, I have been honored and will always cherish the amazing cultural conversations in Sarasota, Fl with Mr. Daniels.
It was indeed a pleasure to drive him to Blake Hospital in Manatee County to say a final farewell to his long time friend, Mr. Gold and to also play an instrumental role in securing a private room for his friend.
My thoughts and prayers are extended to the family members. He will be sorely missed.
