I mentioned to Ms. Myra, and it's true. "Peeps" was one sweetheart of a guy. There are a bunch of good guys out there, but very sweethearts. He was funny, compassionate, and just plain good. A lot of people are going to miss him. My best wishes to the entire family during this time of grieving. Celebrate the good things...remember those things that he did/said that made you happy. Keep his memory alive in stories.
