To the family: I am so sorry in your loss. I want to say that I worked with Fin when he was a residential inspector with the City of Phoenix. He was one of my favorites and such a character. He always had a story or something funny to say that used to put us all in stitches. I will never forget the day he came in after being on an inspection to share the story about the little senior citizen that called him "the big dummy". He teased us about that and kept us laughing for months. Fin always had a nickname for someone, my name was Jan or Janie and so of course he always called me "Jannie"
He always spoke of his wife and family and how much they meant to him. I know that you will miss him dearly. I know that I will always remember him fondly.
