I'm late reading this, although I knew about his passing. It will not be the same going to Gofginsville and not seeing him.
I've known his family since childhood, we spent many hours at his parents place on Nassau River.
He was such a lovable person with a big heart and always had a good outlook.
Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
