We have been neighbors for the last 16 years and we wouldn't have had it any other way. Any time I came to the door, he always had a smile on his face and a story to tell. Even after his wife Judy passed, he still planted his flowers on his deck which warmed my heart. For some reason, his lawn was way prettier than ours too :) Bless your heart and our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
