I find it very hard to believe he is gone.I just found out as we have moved from Winter Haven.My husband and I were his bingo buddies and very fond of him. I called him Gilligan because of his hat and he got a kick out of that. He gave me his hat as a souvenier when we moved and I will keep it always. He was such a soft spoken sweet person and he will be sorely missed. Our deepest sympathy to his family.- Jean and Richard Stevens(Kissimmee,Fl.)
