You have my sincere condolences for your loss. Find comfort from friends, family and the Bible 1 Cor. 15:54. He will be sorely missed. My prayers are for you and your family.

There are so many memories from his, "Good mornin', good mornin', good morning, it's a beeyouutiful day" over the PA system to his larger than life presence when he stepped into the hallway and it got absolutely silent!
