Heaven gained another beautiful Angel from the Fee Family. One of the greatest men I ever knew. He was such a joy every time I talked to him. I always knew when I ran into him out and about, that if I didnt have a smile on my face before, I would when I finished talking to him. He will be greatly missed! My thoughts are with the family!! Love you guys!!
