Q.B. was such a great friend. He was always on top of his game. I will surely miss his humor and wisdom.

Heaven is a beautiful place. QB was the best neighbor and friend you could ever have. He was a humble, kind, and gentle man who always had a great attitude despite his health challenges. We are blessed and thankful for having known QB. May God bless the family and bring comfort in knowing QB and Joyce are together again.
