We lost an amazing man, whom I was fortunate to know and claim as a friend.

I quickly could see him as positive, generous, energizing, uplifting, can-do, compassionate, devout, and a family man.

I cant express enough my sadness for him leaving this earth so soon. This world needs more people like him, and his family needs support from all who know him.

I will be honored to help the family in whatever way I can.
