I did not know him but had been in negotiations with him to buy his house in clarence. He wanted to move closer to his family. Please reach out. I am certain my number is on his cell. It starts 405-819 and kevin Timbrook has it as well. I was so shocked to hear the news and my prayers go to you all.
