Not sure what to say?

Possum is the sweetest person I have met. He had the ability to keep conversations going and had a certain warmth about him. We used to generally talk over emails and he used to proudly share his pictures. Just few days back, I was talking about you with one of my friends. I can´t believe that you are no more. May you rest in peace, dearest Possum. Everyone you have met is going to remember you and adore you.

This is Billy ONeal from Louisiana. Possum was a dear friend for over 30 years. He was our unofficial tour guide,directing us all over the USA. It´s now October 20 and I just found out about his death. Our whole family loved him as a family member. I hope this message gets to you Jeannie

Billy "Possum " was one of a kind. He was the perfect example of a true friend. We spent army time together and stayed in touch for over 55 years. I´m so thankful that I got to spend time with him three weeks. Family, we are so sorry for your loss. I will surely miss those weekly calls. So much more to say, but his life spoke for him

Had a great time walking the beach and talking. Wishing his family pease and comfort in their time of grief.
