My heart is so very heavy at the loss of your father and my 'Patron'

He was so much a part of my life and my families. Forty three years ago I came looking for work and not only did I find employment but he also housed me and my family. He was like a brother to me and will live on in my heart and in my memories.

On behalf of myself and my family, our deepest condolences. Our prayers are with all of you.
