He lived across from me at Loray and always called me Ms. Locklear. He would always ask about others with my last night. It makes me sad to know he is gone. He was a sweet soul.

This breaks my heart. I live a few doors down from where Flash lived. He was the very first resident in the Loray Mill Lofts. He was always so delightful and he could be very funny. Godspeed Flash Gordon!
