He was a very loving and caring person. He was like a father to me and always treated me like it. I thought that this could never be and I still can't believe this is happened.I feel Like the most loving and important person in my life has gone and that really hurt. He cared for his animals and loved them as if they were human beings. He looked out for anyone when ever they asked. With nothin in return. He will greatly be missed and we all loved him every much.
