I remember meeting Mr. Swinson when I was 14 years old. Melissa and I had become best friends during the summer before our sophomore year of high school, and her family was so kind to me and treated me like family from day one. Mr. Swinson was a thoughtful, witty and compassionate man and I will always remember him fondly. He will always be loved, and never be forgotten.
