My deepest sympathies.May the God of all comfort strengthen the entire family during this time of sorrow. Always remember that God keeps in his memory those whom we lose because they are precious in his eyes (Psalms 116:15)

I did not know him all too well except when he came in to make his insurance payment. Always so sweet. He would come in and ask me about different furniture he has found and even gave me a Star Wars board game. He was fascinated to learn about the lost family member of war and that he was preserved in ice after a plane crash. He was a great man and will be thought of often
