I real gentleman and mentor to me. I practiced law with him for almost 20 years and learned how to be a lawyer. I remember that smile and that laugh. I will miss him. And thanks for twenty something years of use of the Florida beach house. CBraud

I miss the jokes he always told me until he sheepishly told me couldn't remember the punch lines anymore. He was such fun.
