I will always remember the first time I met him. I was working at an apartment as the housekeeper. I cleaned the apartments and got them ready for the next person. I had to take him and do his walk through then when he started moving in he called the office to tell them the inside of his oven was dirty. So I go to his apartment and he was so nice about it and I was so embarrassed that I had forgotten to clean it. He was cracking jokes non-stop to make me feel better and that was the day we became friends. Melosa became my shopping buddy. We had lots of good times. He had a very loving family and many friends. My prayers go out to the family in this time of need.

I remember when I first met you all, you were about 8-9yrs old. Always a smile on your face I loved taking care of you and having you all over, you were always so helpful and loved playing with my boys. You grew up and became a very good father to your girls. We had our conversations here and there, and I will always remember our last one Greg. You are missed dearly and will always live in our hearts and memories that you have left.
