Rest in peace neighbor. I saw you, amazed, each week off to work, meticulously dressed and one to admire. You lived your life fearlessly overcoming injuries, never giving up and anxiously returning to work. May we all learn from you. "Live the life you love. Love the life you live." BHC will miss you.
