I know that all of our classmates and many other folks, miss him so much, He was one of those very rare people who are always there for you in troubling times. I don't know how he knew but every time I was in the hospital having cancer surgery he was there to see me. Over the years that he has been going through his ordeal, I have tried to do the same for hjim. We all loved him very much. Lynne & David Birch
