I was truly blessed to have met Paneck. I have to say that he was the most kind hearted, giving soul I've ever met. He would come in to the Nest Store in the mornings and buy drinks for everyone. He would even buy cigarettes for a person there that couldn't. He always brightened my day with his beautiful smile and always made me laugh with a little joke. He will be greatly missed. But heaven is gaining a beautiful angel. My prayers go to the Paneck family.
