This dude was not only a Buckeye, (which made him special) but he also was a sweetheart. Cindy, Dennis McCoy let me know, but we couldn't find out any information, and we were in Alabama, so please know, you are not alone at this time, but in all of our thoughts and prayers. Dennis, I think of you each time I look at my dolphin fountain on my lanai. RIP Buddy.
