Rachel & Hilary, I am the manager of the building your father resided in for the last 2 years, and would like you both to know he was a very well liked man. Everyone knew him and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him. His smile and easy manner was always appreciated & seemed to cheer up those around him. He was especially popular when it came to special events because he could bake a loaf of bread like no other!!! Everyone was quick to get in line to ensure getting a piece! He would often bake a loaf and surprise someone with it...which of course made the day for that person. Your dad will be missed by all. I am so sorry for your loss and please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
