I'm gonna miss this man he was always good to me weather it be me needing help with gas or just needing some humor he always knew how to poke fun at/with me and he was at the gas station every morning when I was on my way to school so I would stop and see him and get my energy drinks. He was a great person and great cousin he will be missed by many.
