I am so very sorry to hear this! I will surely miss him! He and I used to work on my yard and I will never forget all his help. He was a great electrician and did several things for me. I enjoyed riding in his old truck which was in such good shape! Love, hugs and Prayers to Barbara and family! I know Barbara was a wonderful wife to him and he was a wonderful person! We will see our loved ones again Thank and Praise the Good Lord!
