What a Magnificent Man. His infectious smile will never be forgotten. I don't think he ever met a stranger as he always treated everyone as if they were a great friend. Heaven has received one incredible human being. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and that you find comfort in the memories that he has left for you. I think there are a lot of smiles in those memories!
