The most amazing man I’ve ever met, was the sweetest and most kind hearted person you would ever meet. Was so full of life, and even though he was going through it he always had a smile on his face, and made the most of the situation. He always put everyone else before himself. He loved and cared for people so much. He will be missed by so many people. I love you Bampy I’ll miss watching movies with you and eating chocolate together.
