My favorite memory of him was when Kim was going to help me move and he came with her. Kim and I are standing there talking and he said are we going to get busy or stand here and talk all day. He was wonderful at his birthday party she throw him too. He got mad at her too for letting me drive home that night after cleaning up. He said I shouldn't be driving in the dark alone. He always asked about me too. I loved hearing about Kim and his mini adventures. He told it like it was, but was always so thoughtful of those he cared about. I didn't know him for long but made me feel like I was family. They don't make men like him anymore and he will be so sadly missed.

Such a nice picture! Sure enjoyed our day, during CoVid, when we all got together in our backyard! It was a great time together with friends & enjoying a variety of foods. Even though it was our first time meeting him, he was so kind hearted. It was as if he had been over a dozen previous times. Loved seeing him in action, with Kim, during their WalMart adventures too. From the short time I´ve known him, I can tell he was a Great man!!! Sorry for your loss.
