Jasper was a guy i have known for 15 years or more. When I first met him; i wasn't sure what to think of him.
He liked lots of music, working to make money. He used to ride his bike with a rake in hand until someone took it from him.
He could give speaches at times. I remember a time when he was wanting to become President of thr U.S.A. He had a card table and chair outside of his apartment and was campaigning himself. That is 1 of the times I thought well. Anythimg's possible.
So long my friend! R.I.P. Jasper Ross.
Condolences
To all his friends and family
