My deepest condolences to the whole family. I never knew him but did know his son Bob and his wife Julie who were until this day the greatest most kindest sweet people I have ever met in my life and will never forget them ever as they were there for me when no one else was and great people come from great people. Truly my heart goes out to your family at this time and for always.
