Tambo was so special to me and was one of a kind! I feel so blessed that I knew him and honored he walked me down the aisle for my wedding. He was the father figure in my life that I never had...a great mentor and friend who had the biggest heart and taught me to stand up for myself. I will miss him.
My prayers are with his family who loved him so much.
