Sorry for the loss of your loved one. I met Roscoe when I lived in Rockford, and he was always a man with a smile. He always dressed SPIFFY, and you could not tell him he wasn't CLEAN. Cherish the memories you have of your loved one, and this will help you in the days to come when you lay him to rest. Rest in Heaven my friend.
