I had many laughs with that young man at the Randolph library many years ago. He was so caring and wanted to help me every time when I would complain about something so trivial, I know he is with God and he will be missed. Condulances to all his family and close friends. Marie Anderson

Sympathies to all from the UK. We didn't know our cousin as well as we would've liked to, but know that everyone who was lucky enough to know him will have nothing but happy memories. Will be thinking of you all at 2pm today.
