It has been a year and I still remember him.
A man with a strong faith and very active at church.
Friendly and compassionate. Always kept his door open to his friends at church.

I grew up on the same street him and his wife lived in. He was always a hardworking man, my mom and I always saw him outside doing some sort of work. I know he really loves his family. I wish the best for his entire family who has always been kind to my mom and I. God bless.
