AJ never knew a stranger always had a smile for everyone. I remember when I worked at Champaign National Bank that he would come in with his dog (can't remember his name) and I would give the dog a sucker which he unwrapped and put the paper in the trash can. A very fond memory. So sorry for your loss but I bet he is happy in heaven.
