May the good Lord provide the comfort He promises thru Matthew 5:4.
Our condolences from our family to yours. Thou we may have never met but we share the same grief. His testimony speaks volumes by the many that did know him. Rest peacefully.

I'm very sorry for your loss and you have my deepest sympathy and I will pray for you all!!
I remembered him very well; he was very kind and cheerful and friendly.
I used to work with him at Marcone Appliance downtown St. Louis.
