This is such a shame, I have many memories of him as a child. When I was a kid I was in brownies/girl scouts and my Mom would always go over to his business last minute and ask him to sew badges on my vest for me. He always happily did quick sew on jobs for my Mom & I. We appreciated his service but I think what we all appreciated more was his kind heart and beautiful soul. I may have only been a kid at the time but I knew a kind hearted man when I seen one. He always had a kind word to say and brought a smile to others face. He is one of those people who changed the world one day at a time, no matter how big or small. You don't need to move mountains to make a difference. There's this quote by Mother Teresa that goes "Not all of us do great things, but we can do small things with great love". I believe that was his purpose in this life and that's exactly what he did. If only there were more people like him in this world! We lost kind soul but God gained another angel. May he R.I.P - I know God welcomed you with open arms, Mr. Holmes!
