My deepest condolences to the family. Rest in peace my friend. For 22 years I always enjoyed the trip to your store. From day one, you treated me like a long lost friend. Always happy even when times were tough. Always ready to tell me a story. I learned a lot about life from you and through your own personal experiences. You were truly one in a million. I will miss you dearly.
