I knew him forever, and while he was often out of sight, he was always in my heart and mind. He was blessed with brilliant mind, wild imagination, artistic talent and a you'll never forget him persona. With all that, he made friends for life with Skip leading the way in always being there for him. Loved his Mom and Dad too. RIP remembered forever!
